Gordon Brown has created a new department for climate change and energy, and Ed Miliband has been appointed its head.
Up until now climate change and energy have been dealt with by two separate departments, so this is good news. Hopefully we will now see decisive action on climate change. Ed Miliband has the potential to bring fresh thinking to the substantial task of fixing the UK’s renewable energy strategy – and he’ll be a pivotal player in the government’s decision on whether or not to allow a new coal-fired power station to go ahead at Kingsnorth in Kent.
Please take a couple of minutes to send a letter now via the GreenPeace web site to Miliband, encouraging him to begin a green energy revolution, and oppose a new coal plant at Kingsnorth
