PEOPLE POWER CAN BEAT CLIMATE CHANGE

Ed Miliband, first Secretary of State for Energy and ClimateChange, is evidence of the changing political attitude towards environmentalissues.  Ed Miliband unveiledplans to raise the current target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from 60%to 80% by 2050 through domestic and international actions.

Whilst understandably commitments frombig businesses make a considerable contribution to projected targets asubstantial resource that could be used to reduce CO2 emissions is us; thegeneral public.  We need to understandhow we can use the drive of local communities in our strategy to combat climatechange. 

Denmark is a powerful example of how governments can utilisecommunities to reduce greenhouse gases.  Community-ownedenterprises have been given access to investment that allows them to own halfof the country's private wind farms, and 85% of the country's wind generationcapacity is made up of small clusters - rather than large developments.  A supportive planning process and attractiveprices for energy sold back to the grid encourages communities to join forcesand create renewable energy.

During this time of economic downturn and increasing fuel costs,it is hard to imagine that the advantages of this opportunity to embracerenewable energy would be lost on the general public.
