demand-better-bill-logoThe vote on a Warm Homes amendment to the Energy Bill is fast approaching. At present, it looks like the government are going to vote against it. Apparently, they say, they are not feeling the pressure. We need a big last push to make sure the UK government walk the talk on climate change. After all, they have pledged to be the greenest government ever. There’s great aspiration in their dialogue but a comprehensive plan to deliver our legally binding emissions targets is necessary if the Green Deal is really going to be a success.

Clear plans and definitive scale of ambition need to be included in the Energy Bill if the level of investment needed in this emerging and vital market is going to be generated.

Stop Climate Chaos anticipates that the vote on this amendment will fall on Tuesday. Based on the outcome, the e-action will be updated accordingly. Please make sure you take this action again and tell your friends too!
