    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me, first, start by saying that I support the Motion to adopt the Report. Secondly, I commend the Committee. Going by the brief presentation by the Chairman – the Acting Chairman has been moving the Motion – it is very educative and encouraging to note that a Committee of the Senate has gone into the geothermal industry and come up with very pertinent information and some data which has reached the Senate first hand rather through the press. It is also very encouraging to hear from the Chairman’s Report that we have as many as 50 engineers trained in that sector. We have had in this country situations where we train people and when we want to train some more, we send them abroad. Fifty years down the line, we still have no experts in anything on the basis that when we want something substantive done, we still have to go abroad. This is very encouraging and we hope that the people charged with the responsibility of running our geothermal industry will develop the necessary expertise so that other countries, more so in our region, can come to learn from our engineers. Having said that, I would like to suggest or encourage the Committee to do more. They went to look at the geothermal power production. However, we have many other sectors. These could be in their schedules but we have other energy sources like wind. I presume that we have only done so much. It would be good if the Energy, Roads and Transportation Committee can do this on behalf of the Senate so that we have first hand information on where we are in energy production. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
