Guernsey has potential, says cleantech expert

GUERNSEY'S clean energy and technology resources have great potential, according to a cleantech expert who visited the island.

Steve Lang (pictured), a partner and head of Ernst & Young's UK and Ireland cleantech practice, told a business audience that clean energy and technology represented one of the world's most important investment areas over the next decade and beyond.
