The MP for the Selby and Ainsty constituency was speaking during the weekly Prime Ministers Questions session in Westminster.

In his question to the Prime Minister he asked, "Following the renewable energy subsidy review, will the Prime Minister assure tax payers that this government will focus it's support on technologies that are cost effective and reliable, like biomas rather than inefficient, costly, large scale on shore wind farms?"

The Selby District, which the Parliamentarian represents, is a hot spot for the production of energy and has seen a number of schemes for onshore wind put forward in recent years.

The largest of these so far is the 12 turbine wind farm recently brought into operation in on land at Newland, close to the existing coal burning Drax Power plant.

Responding, Prime Minister David Cameron agreed that there should be more support for the use of biomas, but appeared to disagree with Adams over the efficiency of onshore wind generation, referring to the technology as both mature and cheaper.

In his reply, Prime Minister David Cameron said, "..the renewable obligation banding review consultation has just closed... It was proposing targeting only the most cost effective onshore wind farms,  recognising that it is one of the more mature and cheaper technologies and we should, as he says, increase support for an expansion in sustainable biomas generation which is realiable, cost effective and will help us to meet our renewables target"

Electricity genereation using Biomas is already happening in the Selby area.  Local generation firm Drax Power says that by mid 2010, they had the capability to produce 12.5% of it's output from renewable fuels, which it says is the equivalent to around 600 wind turbines.
