Energy policy: let the government know your views

Following a discussion on energy policy on Radio 4's You and Yours programme on 13th December, the public are being inviting to submit comments on their website, and to 'influence government policy'. They say: "For the first time BBC Radio 4 listeners have the chance to give their views directly to a select committee. Many of the Commons Select Committees have agreed to take evidence from callers to You and Yours and comments emailed via the You and Yours website. Your opinions will be scrutinised by MPs before they compile their final report...The Energy White Paper published in 2003 set out a vision in which renewables and energy efficiency would plug the gap left by the decline of current nuclear and coal generating capacity. The Environmental Audit Select Committee has launched an inquiry to examine the options for meeting future energy requirements. It will focus on the relative costs of different technologies, such as nuclear and the various forms of renewables like wind, wave, tidal and solar."
