If we saved more energy, we wouldn’t need wind power, would we?
However much we improve the way we use energy, we are always going to have to generate electricity, and it is vital that we make more use of energy sources that are safe, clean, secure and renewable. Future predictions for transport indicate that we will become even more reliant on electricity, either as a direct source of power or as a means of producing hydrogen for fuel cells. Both energy efficiency and wind power have important roles to play in a sustainable energy policy of the future and have massive potential to help solve serious local, national and international environmental problems.
Friends of the Earth continues to campaign for greater investment in energy efficiency. For example, Friends of the Earth took a court case against the Government for its failure to reach the targets set in the Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Act 2000.
