Responding to the Energy Security Bill, to be introduced to Parliament today, Nigel Pocklington, CEO of Good Energy said:
“To ordinary people facing the prospect of an incredibly difficult winter this year, ‘energy security’ means being able to afford to switch the heating and lights on. We achieve that with rapid investment in insulation and proven home-grown renewables that everyone can benefit from, like onshore wind and solar. Instead, this bill places big bets on unproven tech like carbon capture, hydrogen and nuclear fusion. Not to mention a ‘future’ for oil and gas.
“There are some essential moves in the bill like plans and customer protections for low carbon heat, but ultimately this energy security bill does not deliver what it claims to. Stop gambling with our energy security and start investing in the green technologies that will deliver it in a fairer and faster way.”
