In the UK, The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) is condemning the British government for their “hot and cold” commitment to cutting national carbon emissions.
Energy Secretary Ed Davey maintains that government goals can be reached by 2030.
The IPPR report pressures the UK government by saying that “to avoid dangerous climate change, deep cuts in carbon emissions will be needed.” They want to see drastic declines in the “emissions produced directly by individuals.”
Reg Plant, researcher at IPPR states: “An ambitious decarburization policy offers a route to long-term sustainable economic growth, and productive British businesses. But businesses need to know the government will provide consistent support for their investments. And at the moment ministers blow hot and cold on their commitment to a green future.”
The IPPR proposes that the UK government take their “realistic proposition” so that the “policy to help reduce personal carbon emissions” in the UK.
While the Treasury wants to implement a green energy tax that would set a minimum price for greenhouse gases, the IPPR supports their move by asserting this would encourage corporations to develop green technologies.
Davey defends the “carbon floor price” policy as “very important” in developing green energy policies.
“We’re becoming more exposed to gas imports,” Davey said. “The real thing that’s driving energy bills for households is the cost of global gas and global oil and we need to try to make sure that our economy is better insulated. We’re having to import more and more gas as the North Sea oil gas supplies run down, that’s going to leave our economy more exposed.”
However this tax would simply be reallocated to energy consumers . Projections show that this will be so.
The Treasury has assessed the floor price will raise £1.4 billion by 2015–16.
At least 40 % of that bill is anticipated to be paid by customers; reaching an estimated total cost of £560 million.
Treasury approximations have recommended that the floor price be add as much as 6% to consumer electricity bills; which translates to an additional £25 for the average family.
According to the Department of Energy and Climate Change : “The government is proposing to reform the electricity market and give certainty to investors with the Energy Bill and revolutionize the energy efficiency of millions of homes and business across the UK through the Green Deal. This approach will deliver the best deal for Britain and for consumers, cutting energy waste and helping get us off the hook of relying on imported oil and gas by creating a greener, cleaner and ultimately cheaper mix of electricity sources right here in the UK.”
The IPPR’s report coincides with lobbying from environmental advocates to cut subsidies to onshore wind farms.
They claim that wind farms are blighting the countryside.
Prime Minister David Cameron supports the green movement, saying that he wants the UK to be the leader of the “greenest movement ever.”
