Green Building Forum - Low Carbon Buildings Programme

Green Building Forum - Low Carbon Buildings Programme

In the budget this week Gordon Brown put another 6 million quid into this programme, what a joke. DCemand is so high that it has to ne administered on a monthly basis, last month the entire allocation was snapped up by renewable energy fans in 75 minutes. Here is a clear area that the public is way way ahead of the government on- so far ahead that the puiblic is prepared to spend money on very expensive electricity to reduce their carbon footprint. It is a real public/private finance partnership, with no long term debts for the government. So what about it Gordon- stop mortguaging our future with PFI stuff and invest in the future in a more sensible way- slap tax on domestic aviation fuel, argue in Europe to have tax on intra EU flights, add the revenue to the Low Carbon Buildings Programme
