[SGRupdate] Open Letter to Ed Davey on Draft Energy Bill

[Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR)]

Dear Friends

Below, a link to the the open letter from SGR to Ed Davey, Secretary of State
for Energy and Climate Change, on the Draft Energy Bill and wider UK energy
policy (sent yesterday).

The letter makes four main criticisms:

- insufficient curbs on greenhouse gas emissions of fossil fuel plants; -
favouritism towards the nuclear industry;
- inadequate support for the renewable energy industry; and
- failure to prioritise energy conservation.
