Call for renewable heat incentive16 August 2010
With your help, Friends of the Earth successfully campaigned for people to be paid to produce green electricity.
Now we need to push the Government to do the same with renewable heat.
Heat accounts for 47 per cent of the UK's CO2 emissions. This mostly comes from heating rooms and hot water in homes and workplaces.
Using renewable heat, such as solar panels to heat water, is essential if we are to tackle climate change and will help the UK meet its renewable energy targets.
The last Government said it would introduce a Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) in April 2011 to pay people to generate renewable heat.
And both the Conservatives and Lib Dems supported this while in opposition. But the plans are now under threat from Government cuts.
The Government will make a decision in October.
Please write to your MP and ask them to support the RHI.
Thanks for your interest, but this action has now expired.
