Government must give up 'dash for gas', say environmental advisers

摘要

The government must give up its "dash for gas" in order to save money for hard-pressed households and avoid dangerous levels of greenhouse gas emissions, according to the committee charged with advising ministers on climate change.Going for gas rather than lower carbon alternatives such as renewable energy could result in costs of £25bn by the 2020s, a charge that would be paid by energy bill payers, according to the Committee on Climate Change.
