FOE welcomes Meacher's plans for climate action

15 Jul 1999

“Renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies are essential in the battle against global climate change. These measures make economic as well as environmental sense. They reduce pollution, cut costs and create jobs,something Friends of the Earth has long advocated. DTI ministers and officials and business naysayers should see the sense in what Mr Meacher is saying and stop trying to block any Government action to fight this crucial environmental threat.”
