 Stroud Green Party Response to DTI Energy Review (380 KB)
 

Summary of key recommendations in our response:

• Planning must include oil and gas depletion scenarios (Peak Oil and Gas)
• Demand reduction is first priority
• Support growth of renewables, particularly decentralised and micro generation
• No new nuclear – it’s too expensive and dangerous
• Carbon abatement, clean coal with carbon capture and storage, is preferable to nuclear
• Plan for introduction of Tradable Energy Quotas
• Internationally promote Contraction and Convergence
