CPRE's Position on Energy
Climate change is the most urgent and complex environmental issue we face today. The impact of both energy generation and use on the countryside and the climate is growing. There are measures the Government can take before pursuing proposals for a new round of nuclear power stations or other options for energy generation. It’s wrong to focus the entire debate on the supply side alone. CPRE believes Government should prioritise measures to curb the growth in energy demand, encourage energy efficiency and promote a wide range of renewable technologies.
