References to energy generation require it to be renewable and low carbon but do not mention that it should be clean in terms of air pollution. There is no point in having a renewable source of energy that pollutes the air we breathe. Wood, straw and other biomass fuels, whilst renewable, are not clean and can cause severe damage to the environments from which they are obtained. The GNLP should contain a clear indication that only clean renewable energy technologies should be used, e.g. not entirely based on government subsidies that can be withdrawn at any time.
