Ministers’ plans for carbon capture and nuclear power could increase energy costs by ￡35 billion by 2030, campaigners have suggested.

It suggested these technologies could increase costs by ￡35 billion by 2030 and ￡110 billion by 2050, while increasing emissions by nearly a fifth by 2050.
Their report found that maximising more renewable energy sources, particularly onshore and offshore wind and solar power, would be the cheapest and lowest-carbon pathway to reaching net zero.

CCS is a process that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial processes and power plants, and then stores it underground to prevent it from entering the atmosphere
The Labour government has already announced an investment of over ￡22billion into CCS and is aiming to increase nuclear capacity from around 6GW to 24 GW by 2050.

Possible hit out at nuclear power plant’s track record of delays and significant budget overruns, while warning that CCS is “unproven and has an extremely high price tag”.

The Energy Secretary told MPs that the drive towards “clean energy” is the only way to “get bills down sustainably” in the UK.
Mr Miliband said: “The truth is that there is only one way to get bills down sustainably in this country and that is driving to clean energy.”
Labour has pledged to double onshore wind, triple solar power and quadruple offshore wind by 2030.
