LOCAL ENERGY NOW – big power stations cost more

Funding Local Renewable Off-Grid Power Stations Can Help Bring Down Bills & Cut Carbon

75% of all global warming (ie carbon emissions) is caused by the production and consumption of energy. Technology exists today to power 1,000 homes for under £5m - delivering power in 6-18 months instead of a decade.

It will cost hundreds of billions to make electricity production in the UK carbon-neutral, and Government intends to spend most of that money through the energy companies which caused the problem in the first place. The UK should instead fund locally-owned renewable energy grids across the country. Power for the people, not the data centres.

But technology exists today to power 1,000 homes for under £5m - delivering power in 6-18 months instead of a decade. There is a law on this going through parliament at the moment that is going to prioritise huge power stations at the expense of small ones.

We need MPs to support a simple amendment that enables off-grid power stations to compete on a level playing field whilst protecting the environment. Your personal voice matters more than any template! MPs pay special attention to letters written in constituents' own words. You can amend the basic template below in any way you want, adding your own local details. If you are in a hurry just send as is - but your personal touches will give it more impact.
