Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, the Opposition always tries to pit renewables against petroleum-based power. That is utterly false. We have not, and will not, reduce renewables and generate only from petroleum. That is not relevant to this question. If there is no oil, we will go for alternatives.
