1/7 #EnergyEfficiency: a cross-cutting #Infrastructure investment priority that addresses countless departmental objectives. Time for coordination to secure sufficient investment & realise those objectives @hmtreasury @beisgovuk @DHSCgovuk @mhclg @eeiguk #GreenGB #CleanGrowth 
2/7 Energy bills would have been £500 higher today if it weren’t for #EnergyEfficiency improvements since 2004. Time to deliver through a national #Infrastructrure programme and reduce bills by £270. @hmtreasury @beisgovuk @mhclg @eeiguk #GreenGB #CleanGrowth
3/7 To meet the Gov’s #CleanGrowth commitments, there is a £4.5bn annual investment gap in residential #EnergyEfficiency improvements. An extra £1bn per year is needed from Government to drive household investment to fill the gap. @hmtreasury @beisgovuk @mhclg @eeiguk #GreenGB
Oh, you're looking for advice?
OK.

First point: we can give tidal turbines a level playing field by funding their development properly. Wind turbines got research funding, grants for pilot installations, Renewable Obligation Certificates, Feed-In Tariffs and Contracts for Difference.
Tidal turbines only got research funding and grants for pilot installations like the one in the Pentland Firth. Then the Conservative Party at Westminster cut them off at the knees: archive.is/mTFDU
At the same time as announcing support for #netzero emissions by 2050, the government
❌Slash support for small scale renewables
❌Cut support for electric vehicles in a move industry describe as “astounding”
❌Is slammed by a leading climate scientist for pursuing fracking

The gaping contradiction between long term #climatechange targets and actual Tory policy is no accident. It is hypocrisy of the highest order, and an affront to those communities on which the government has forced the #fracking industry
Labour is serious about achieving net zero emissions before 2050, announced at our conference three weeks ago. That is why we are developing serious immediate policies to dramatically decarbonise energy and insulate four million homes as part of a green jobs revolution
