The Renewable Energy Centre.co.uk urges Gordon Brown not to renege on 2020 Renewable Energy Targets. |
|
The Guardian yesterday reported that a leaked government document contained recommendations to negotiate a reduction in the 2020 European Union target that 20% of all UK energy must come from renewable sources. Campaigners in support of the renewable energy targets have already expressed their anger and The Renewable Energy Centre today released a statement highlighting how negative, both the political and environmental consequences could be.
Earlier this year the Blair administration signed up to the EU targets knowing the targets were going to be hard to achieve but that they were possible. At the same time Gordon Brown was establishing a European emission trading scheme which allowed wealthy governments to pay others to supply renewable energy in order to reduce emissions. The 2020 targets, if achieved by the UK, could undermine the credibility of Gordon Brown’s scheme and it is thought that this could be a mitigating factor if the government are seeing to reduce the target. |
