TUC energy policy

The TUC’s July 2019 Just Transition statement (see pages 9-11) sets out that “UK trade unions have long supported a balanced energy policy, measures to reduce carbon and other harmful emissions from energy intensive industries such as steel and cement manufacture, a Just Transition to electric vehicles, and an integrated low emission public transport system, all of which will help us meet our climate change commitments, while delivering a reliable, resilient and affordable energy supply for the whole country”. A balanced energy policy means a variety of energy sources making up the UK’s energy supply.
