Building up the pressure

We have to revolutionise the way we power the UK. That way we can tackle the twin challenges of:

• Climate change.
• Spiralling fuel bills.

Tapping into the vast renewable energy potential of the sun, wind, tides and waves will:  

• Help keep global temperatures in check.
• Provide a secure and lasting energy supply.
• Generate jobs and business.

Time to act

We can radically transform our energy networks to achieve a low carbon future. But this requires bold political decisions.

The Government needs to launch a huge and ambitious Apollo-style energy programme. It must make renewables the number one source of energy in the UK.

In June 2009 the Government will publish a Renewable Energy Strategy. As a first step to delivering an energy revolution it is critical that this strategy does two important things.

• Stick to its promises
  Deliver at least 15% of UK energy from renewables by 2020.
• Rig the system
  Restructure the energy industry to prioritise renewable energy sources.

Join the energy revolution today

Climate change is a problem we all must tackle together. The Government needs to know that people all over the country want them to act.

Please ask your MP to support a strong and sustainable Renewable Energy Strategy.

Sorry this action has now expired.
