PQ 680
680. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the way in which he plans to ensure the costs incurred by households which opt to heat their properties using renewable energy sources such as renewable biofuels are no greater than those incurred by households whose heating and energy needs are met by the utilisation of non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels; if his attention has been drawn to the effects which market forces and price volatility have in determining energy prices, particularly with regard to oil and gas, which resultantly can cost less than renewable energy alternatives for the purpose of meeting a household's energy and heating needs; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
