In recent weeks, there was a strong media campaign and well organized consistently argued that the large increases in gas bills and electricity are almost entirely due to "green taxes" to develop energy renewable. I am therefore pleased to hear the Committee on Climate Change confirms that it is a huge red run (annual energy bills rise by £ 190 for the year 2020, 15 December).
I believe that this coordinated campaign was orchestrated by the interests who seem determined to prevent the positive potential of clean, sustainable and economic development there with huge renewable energy. The advantage in parallel to promote energy efficiency should be allowed in reducing the alarming increase in energy poverty, which will directly help reduce fuel bills.
is interesting therefore to read on the Guardian website (blog Environment, December 14) Sunday Times YouGov poll, just reported by the Sunday Times shows strong support for renewable energy in nuclear and fossil fuels. The survey shows strong support for the development of solar energy more (74%), as the government cut food prices popular (FIT), and strong support for wind energy more (56% ). This compares with the support of new nuclear power plants in only 35%, with a majority of 50% want to see the non-nuclear or total elimination. Oil and coal come out even worse.
why we have not heard of these figures by the media in the UK? The government should address them and begin to change its energy policy accordingly.

. December 12, 2011 was a black day for Britain - the day Chris Huhne, Secretary of State for Energy and climate change, reducing solar subsidies, while proclaiming the a good result, Britain had obtained at the climate change conference in Durban. Huhne calls for the cost of solar panels has fallen by half, and therefore the grant (FIT) should be halved. But solar panels are only half the cost of installation, so even if prices were reduced to half of the face, which is doubtful, the total investment cost was reduced to only one quarter .
Huhne also said the original value of 43.3p per kilowatt generated was too generous. Not at all! The rate of return over 25 years, including the original investment cost, it is reasonable to 6%. Who will take investment risks when the real rate of return is 3%? The decision to Huhne exchange rate of nearly four months, launched personal investment plans into chaos and created mistrust of government intentions, not only for the applications of solar wind, but also. The fact is that now we need solar energy to meet our Kyoto obligations. Huhne has betrayed the green agenda.

. So rich people are lucky to be able to provide more than ? 10,000 and enjoy tremendous benefits of installing solar panels are now at war to rethink the administration fees. Spare a thought for the millions of poor people who are in fuel poverty with no hope of access to these benefits. This is another example of the growing economic divide: equality rich enough to benefit from a tax on new road vehicles has little or no reason to emissions regulations, while the poorest have to work the old cars to pay the full amount of taxes

- . If you trust the sources of Murdoch, Australia "carbon tax" could "look like a trip to the moral authority at the expense of international competitiveness" (Editorial, December 13). But in fact The policy is very progressive: trade exposed issuers receive a discount of 94% in the foreseeable future, and, finally, contaminants can buy carbon credits from abroad if it is cheaper to clean up the country . Rather than seeking an abatement of Big Bang, the point of politics is the construction of power lines for low-carbon technologies. It is a prudent goal. What increased temperature or increased exports to Asia, it is unlikely that in 20 years in Australia will be able to justify the burning of coal to fuel domestic air conditioners.
