Call for energy 'supergrid'

Published Date: 23 October 2008

NICK Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, yesterday called for a "supergrid" across the North Sea to boost development of renewable energy.
He said an ambitious grid scheme – which could be extended across Europe – would meet energy demands in a more efficient, less harmful way than the current system, and would create jobs.Speaking at the British Wind Energy Association's annual conference, he said:"These are ambitious plans, I don't deny it. But ambition is precisely what we need."
