Using more energy efficiently, e.g. Copenhagen CHP scheme (+)
+ It is clean, low carbon dioxide emissions from natural gases and biofuels, it is cheap, it is 50% less damaging than oil heating, it is efficient and wastes only 6% of energy.
1 of 7
Replacing the UK's existing nuclear power stations with new ones (+)
+Cheap domestic gas supplies from the sea are running low, less energy insecurity: overseas oil and gas price have risen dramatically since 2004 (OPEC).
2 of 7
Replacing the UK's existing nuclear power stations with new ones (-)
-Nuclear energy is very controversial as it uses radioactive uranium.
3 of 7
Conserve and reduce energy consumption, e.g. BedZed (+)
+If this works then the residents will emit 40% less Carbon than the average UK resident.
4 of 7
Conserve and reduce energy consumption, e.g. BedZed (-)
-Systems (such as BedZed) have failed in 2005. Carbon neutrality has not and is very difficult to achieve.
5 of 7
Expand the UK's forest with carbon offsetting (+)
+They are carbon sinks and they can store carbon plants in plants and soils.
6 of 7
Expand the UK's forest with carbon offsetting (-)
-Less than 3% of the UK's annual Carbon Dioxide emissions are offset by woodlands.
