    peter coville posted an update in the group Energy, Equity & Environment 10 months, 1 week ago

    At the moment, we are very concerned about the government’s anti-environmental stance, despite Cameron’s promise that this would be the ”greenest government ever”. Just a few examples:
    1) Govt cuts solar feed-in tariffs in half:http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/nov/04/solar-successful-tariffs-cut
    2) Govt secretly tries to dilute EU green energy targets: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/jun/03/coalition-dilute-eu-green-energy-targets
    3) Govt plans huge investment in fracking and a ”dash for gas”: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2012/jun/29/fracking-debate-climate-change-risks

    Behind these policies, we see the hand of the Big Six Energy companies, who lobby the Government successfully at every turn. Concern for maintaining a safe and clean environment, and producing energy at affordable prices for ordinary citizens, clearly do not figure in their calculations.

    If you aren’t with us already, come and join us and help us fight against this corporatocracy, through education and direct action!
