Meeting of the Parliament 10 March 2016
The next item of business is a members’ business debate on motion S4M-15291, in the name of Dave Thompson, on the need for more electric car rapid charge points. The debate will be concluded without any question being put.
Motion debated,
That the Parliament recognises Scotland’s role in reducing global warming; understands that, when fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas are burnt, they release CO2 into the atmosphere and are considered by the vast majority of the scientific community as a contributory cause of global temperature increases; considers that, thanks to human ingenuity, there are smarter ways to generate energy and that travelling by electric car reduces one’s carbon footprint; believes that “fast” (22kw) and “rapid” (50kw) electric charge points are becoming more prevalent in Scotland and that more rapid charge points are needed to make electric car travel in Scotland more efficient to encourage widespread use in Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch and across the country, and notes calls for all members to campaign in their constituencies to make this happen.
