‘Renewable energy potential in State needs to be harnessed’
A group of legislators in Karnataka, forming part of the
Climate Parliament, a global network of lawmakers working to combat climate
change, want a committee on energy to be constituted in the Assembly to
identify and implement key energy issues in the State.
In doing so, the objectives would be to work towards
inclusive development, energy security, clean energy access, affordability and
energy efficiency. A memorandum underscoring the significance of having such a
committee from the multi-party group of legislators was submitted to Speaker
Kagodu Thimmappa on Tuesday evening.
