As James Huw Dyson (E3G research) argues:
'When the first cold snap rolls in, the public aren't going to thank the government for cutting home insulation [support] while giving big oil tax breaks to drill for polluting energy that keeps our bills high... If the government is serious about tackling the cost of living... it should focus its attention on insulating homes & rolling out clean energy'.
In other words: stop listening to the fossil fuels lobby!
