Putting some energy into renewables
How long do we have to wait for some common sense plans to help Londoners who want to invest in clean, renewable energy?
As Mayor, I will have solar panels up and running on 100,000 roofs by 2015. And I will give free loans to householders, community groups and businesses to make use of new, clean energy technology.
I will commission street-by-street surveys to identify the best sites for renewables. And anyone in London who wants to generate their own energy will get detailed help with the paperwork instead of a blank stare from planners.
With soaring oil and gas prices, the Government’s time-wasting on renewable energy is hitting us all in the pocket. London isn't the Lake District, but even in the city there is the potential to generate huge amounts of clean energy. I know London isn't afraid to take the lead when it has to, and if we can't take part in the renewables revolution with the government's help, then we'll lead it without them.
