MHK expected to debate the topic in the next parliamentary sitting
A Douglas North MHK believes the Isle of Man needs to be 'self-sustainable' when it comes to energy.
David Ashford is proposing all political members debate the need for the Island to be energy self-sufficient in the next sitting of Tynwald.
He's highlighted a reliance on importing from the UK - who themselves are large importers - and questions whether there's security given recent global events.
Mr Ashford told Manx Radio he worries the Isle of Man is falling behind:
Sailings altered as 'ongoing dredging issues' lead to 'insufficient water depths in Douglas port'
Manx Care asks all GPs to formally adopt Jess's Rule
Government 'taking rising fuel prices seriously'
Motion to sell Old Castletown Police Station to be put before Tynwald
DOI issues 'final' offer to bus drivers
