Another respondent to the energy review launch is worried that it's all going to be too rushed.
Philip Wolfe, Chief Executive of the Renewable Energy Association, said: "Ministers rightly remind us how complex the issues are, yet are consulting for just three months and promise new policy proposals by the summer. I hope that we will not end up with a quick and dirty energy policy that ditches the good work of the last Energy White Paper and has to be revisited yet again in a couple of years' time."
He outlines the priorities as:
- We must close the so-called 'energy gap' before trying to fill it.
- The Government should start by doing more to promote energy saving.
- They should also firm up 2020 targets for new renewables production across all sectors
- They should stop thinking that energy policy is only about electricity supply and look to heat, transport fuels and demand reduction as well.
