Labour Green Agenda
Posted by labourblogger on April 25, 2009
Cedric Smith and Jenny Knowles are both Labour Candidates for Worcestershire County Council Elections for Stourport.
As we move to a lower carbon future, one statutory requirement housebuilders and local authorities have to address is the on-site generation of 10% of energy from new housing developments. We believe there are a range of practical options which should provide a solution for most sites. One of the most promising is geothermal heating. This technology uses warmth from the soil to heat homes and we know it works! It is already widely used in Germany and Scandinavia.
We believe that this is one of the major options councils should be promoting. As councillors for Stourport, it would be part of our Green Agenda.
