We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to properly support small scale renewable energy in the UK by ending the funding crisis of the Low Carbon Buildings Program Phase 1. More details
Submitted by Howard Johns – Deadline to sign up by: 06 May 2007 – Signatures: 1,411
The Government’s flagship small-scale Renewable Energy funding Scheme ran out of money in February hours after opening. The Government launched the Low Carbon Buildings Programme (LCBP) in order to encourage the public to join the all-important battle against climate change by generating their own energy. The scheme worked well until funds started to run dry and were allocated on a month-by-month basis.
All of the trade bodies in this field have warned the Government on frequent occasions of the dire funding situation that was developing and pressed for new funds rather than this damaging and restrictive monthly allocation. Many people who are looking to do their bit for the planet are being put off by this poorly funded scheme, when they are told that they have to join in this grants lottery. Prime Minister you have said a lot recently about how we have to take urgent action over climate change, we totally agree and isn’t it about time you put your money where your mouth is?
