Ahead of the crucial Energy Bill vote on June 4, the Committee on Climate Change has reiterated that low carbon energy is unequivocally better for consumers and the UK economy than gas.
In response, Greenpeace Energy Campaigner Leila Deen said:
"Every MP in British politics should take heed of this report, because in two weeks’ time they’ll be making the biggest changes to the UK’s energy system in a generation when they vote on the Energy Bill.
"The CCC’s advice is clear - a clean energy system is better for business and better for consumers. George Osborne has ripped a 2030 decarbonisation target from the bill, but with hundreds of businesses and investors crying foul, it’s up to Coalition MPs to vote it back in.
Only that way can we ensure the UK is on a path to cleaner, safer, cheaper power."
