We all know that our modern lifestyle demands energy to fuel it, and that we need to find sources of energy that don’t damage our environment and destroy our planet.
We support the government’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and that means researching renewable energy technologies, encouraging energy-efficient developments, addressing the problem of air transport emissions, and doing all we can to reduce the need for people to travel by car.
And while we’re searching for cleaner, greener power, let’s stop scarring the landscape to produce it: for example, by encouraging new power cables to be laid underground, and ensuring that opportunities are not lost to underground existing cables when major infrastructure works are taking place.
