Clean Energy Revolution

The Co-operative is calling for a clean energy revolution. The UK can no longer afford to rely on increasingly expensive, and environmentally damaging, dirty fossil fuels. Instead we need to accelerate the development of a clean energy future. By harnessing our vast natural resources of wind, water and solar power, the UK will be greener and our energy future more secure.

As well as continuing to campaign against the development of the Canadian tar sands, we're stepping up our support for communities who are looking to develop renewable energy and take control of their energy future, whilst calling on the UK Government to invest more in clean energy.
