We are pleased to announce that Confused.com has joined the Energy Bill Revolution alliance, for warm homes and lower bills.
The Energy Bill Revolution is calling on the Government to use the money it gets from carbon taxes to make our homes super-energy efficient. This is the only permanent way to drive down energy bills and end fuel poverty.
From next year the Government will be collecting over £2 billion in carbon tax every year, rising to £4 billion by 2020 and £7 billion by 2027. Recycled back into energy efficiency programmes, this would be enough to super-insulate more than 600,000 homes a year, bringing 9 out of 10 homes out of fuel poverty. It could also quadruple carbon emission savings from households compared to the government’s new energy efficiency policies and create up to 200,000 more jobs – exactly what we need to support the UK’s economic recovery.
Lisa Greenfield, resident energy expert at Confused.com, said:
‘We’d like to support the Energy Bill Revolution because fuel poverty is a huge concern here in the UK. Prices keep rising, and will continue to do so – the problem is only going to get worse and it’s clear that urgent action is required. The Energy Bill Revolution is suggesting an innovative approach to minimise fuel bills, and is just the kind of drastic action we need!’
