Experts aren't impressed with the UK's energy plans

Environmentalists and many energy experts have reacted with dismay at the failure of the government's energy security strategy to cut emissions and bills in the short term. They welcome the long-term target to secure low-carbon home-grown energy supplies.

But they say it does nothing new in the short-term to reduce bills, cut emissions or decrease dependency on imported gas. They accuse the document of perversely down-playing the fastest and cheapest ways of combating energy dependency - namely, energy efficiency, onshore wind and solar power.

There's wide agreement among environmentalists, energy experts and opposition parties that the UK needs a huge insulation programme to save houses leaking heat. But the document offers no new incentives for that

A Downing Street source told that it was an energy supply strategy - not a demand strategy - even though experts point out that these are two sides of the same coin.
