Ensure new power sources are emissions reductive!

As our old dirty coal power stations begin to phase out, we need to switch to clean green energy sources. A carbon emissions performance standard (EPS) is an effective way of regulating emissions by setting the maximum amount of carbon dioxide that can be emitted per unit of energy produced by a power station (g CO2/kwh). This would cap emissions from power generation.

Upon the advice of the Climate Change Committee, an Early Day Motion has been proposed. To keep global warming below 2 degrees C, this will:

1. Stop dirty power generation and cap emissions
2. Compel the UK government to work with the Climate Change Committee
3. Decarbonise power generation by 2030
