Countryside Alliance - love the countryside

Your countryside can take the lead in ensuring sustainable energy sources, guaranteeing national energy security.

It’s a fact

5 billion pounds worth of energy is wasted annually in the UK.

Why we care
There is increased demand on the world’s global fuel supply, so the Government needs to act now to ensure the nation’s energy needs are met closer to home.
