In Esher and Walton, over 24,000 houses have an energy performance banding of D or worse - this means high carbon dioxide emissions and higher energy bills.

18 Dec 2024 Claire Coutinho MP (@ClaireCoutinho) This is an important read.????????
The Govt plans will mean importing more steel, batteries, wind turbines, solar panels from coal-powered China.
Their Clean Power Plans assume they impose the highest carbon tax *in the world* on our industry, which again will just move production from UK to China and places like it.
This would mean less jobs in Britain, for MORE carbon in the atmosphere.
