New Solar Initiative - sign up NOW
November 6, 2008
Last week, an exciting campaign to promote solar power in the UK was launched by Solar Aid and United Diversity. The campaign had the pre-launch backing of numerous politicians including: Greg Barker MP, Michael Meacher MP, Peter Hain MP, Nick Clegg MP, Steve Webb MP, Norman Baker MP, and Colin Challen MP, as well as Friends of the Earth, Green Alliance, Solar Aid, Greenpeace, World Future Council, European PV Industry Association and the UK PV Manufacturers Group.
The Government's own research for the Renewable Energy Strategy indicates that solar PV can contribute at least 20 TWh per year to the 2020 renewable energy target (ie. more than the output of the proposed Severn Barrage), but this potential contribution to the very demanding target is simply ignored in the Government's current 2020 assumptions. We Support Solar aims to gather as much support from all sectors of society as possible to ensure the government recognises solar power as an important part of the UK renewable energy mix.
