Unscramble Energy Efficiency Policies

And next in line is the CBI. They've recently published a report "Shining a light: Uncovering the business energy efficiency opportunity" which, among other things, calls upon government to streamline overlapping energy efficiency policies. Being a business support operation the CBI of course, includes shouts for further support for business - including energy intensive outfits - but, give them their due, also castigates many businesses for not taking the opportunities open to them. "Businesses also need to step up to the challenge" was the quote from Rhian Kelly, Director for Business Environment Policy. Quite so. I have long been amazed at the profligate waste demonstrated by many businesses when a little thought and investment could reap material gains.
