Government Criticised for ‘Breaking the Law’ on Renewable Energy & Heat

The UK Micropower Council has criticised the UK government for ‘breaking the law on renewables’. The organisation called on David Cameron to stand by his pledge to be the ‘greenest government ever’.

In a newly published report the Micropower Council claims Local Government Department Ministers have broken the law by failing to comply with an Act of Parliament requiring the implementation of Permitted Development rights for air source heat pumps and micro wind turbines.

David Cameron’s Renewable Energy Challenge

How green really are the blues?

Conservative party leader David Cameron portrays a green image by biking to work and installing a wind turbine on his roof – however is the Conservative party up for tackling the effects of climate change and what are their plans for taking us into a greener future?

In January the Conservatives announced their vision of a low carbon economy. David Cameron unveiled the party’s green paper which he said would help guarantee energy security and protect our environment for future generations.

Cameron said that Conservative change would be “similar in scale to the advent of the internet and the revolution in computing power that took place in the 1980’s and 1990’s“. An energy revolution could – according to Cameron create hundreds of thousands of new green collar jobs in the UK by 2020.
