Environmental Policies Have Lowered People’s Bills

It is often argued that switching to a low-carbon economy is making energy too expensive. This article challenges that myth.

“The average consumer has saved £115 a year on their energy bills since the UK government committed to legally binding targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions” — emphasises the author, citing the new analysis by the government’s climate change advisers.

It offers an interesting perspective, pointing out to the fact that low-carbon economy also opens new doors for innovation and development, allowing for fresh smart grid and energy efficiency ideas to bloom. As a result, a new cost effective model might be emerging.
