"Madam President, while the challenge of climate change must not be underestimated, we must also remember our constituents face their own challenge, paying the high cost of energy bills. So as we head towards beautiful Warsaw I would like the EU to take a negotiating position which addresses both challenges.
Ambitious targets for cutting greenhouse gases are all well and good but they must allow us to keep pace with the growing demand for energy. Green energy also needs to offer consumers value for money. We must ensure a multifaceted approach to addressing climate change which includes renewables, as well as other sources of energy such as nuclear power and shale gas. We need to make our energy resources more sustainable and our energy consumption more efficient. I welcome the UK Government’s Green Deal scheme to improve energy efficiency and help families cut their household energy bills. We also need to invest in energy-efficient technology. Any deal which is negotiated in Warsaw needs to be good for climate, good for the country and, most importantly, good for the consumers."@en1
