Energy Security

It surprises me that the Labour party has forgotten everything that Tony Blair taught it. There was the ““toffs”” campaign in Crewe and Nantwich, and now we are told that allowing the citizen to do something to tackle the problem of energy need is not relevant in the north of England. Let us forget the class war—the fact is that we have an energy security problem and everybody should be able to take part in solving it. If people want to do that through microgeneration or some of the other energy-saving schemes, they should be able to. We should not say, ““Oh, that is middle class—let's not do it.””
