Don't bet the farm on emissions trading

摘要

The UK Energy Review has come out strongly in favour of energy efficiency measures,renewable energy and new nuclear build.However,the targets and incentives laid out for nuclear are noticeably weaker and less substantive than for the other two technology areas.The measures in place to support energy efficiency include improvements in building codes,maintaining a household energy efficiency commitment and mandating the delivery of improved consumption data to consumers.Renewable energy also has very solid support in the form of a clearly defined target of 20% penetration by 2020.
