The GWPF has launched an online petition to scrap EU Renewables Targets:

Dear friends and supporters
The Global Warming Policy Forum today has launched an online petition, calling on the next government to scrap the EU Renewable Energy Directive and halt the rising energy policy costs for households and the overall economy.
I would be grateful if you would sign our petition and circulate it widely among your MPs, friends, family and colleagues.
The cost of Britain’s unilateral renewable energy policies is running out of control, the inevitable result of replacing cheap and reliable energy with expensive, intermittent sources.
In 2016, the combined costs of the Levy Control Framework (LCF) and carbon taxes reached over £9 billion.
According to official figures, the Climate Change Act will cost the UK economy over £300 billion by 2030, costing each household £875 per annum.
The first priority of British energy policy should be to ensure cheap and reliable energy.
Renewable energy levies have made this impossible by mandating the use of expensive and intermittent technologies. The consequence has been far too many Britons living in fuel poverty.
As Britain leaves the EU it should abandon the Renewables Directive. This will boost consumer spending, reduce fuel poverty and revitalise the British economy.

Please sign our petition to the next UK Parliament

Scrap expensive EU renewable energy targets

The more support we can get, the better the chances of reforming UK energy policy and reducing fuel poverty in coming years.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continuing support of the GWPF and our efforts to restore rational climate and energy debates.
