According the the Guardian, Chris Huhne (Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change) is looking to build new legislation to create energy efficient houses in the UK to prevent wasteful energy loses. It sounds like a green plan also being shown as a way for home owners/tenants to save money.
"New legislation to enable the mass retro-fitting of homes will allow energy companies, local authorities and even high street stores to spend as much as £6,500 insulating millions of Britain's most energy-wasteful homes."-Guardian
The Green Deal plans are just one of the promises made in the coalition deal. "Through our ‘Green Deal’, we will encourage home energy efficiency improvements paid for by savings from energy bills. We will also take measures to improve energy efficiency in businesses and public sector buildings. We will reduce central government carbon emissions by 10% within 12 months."-programmeforgovernment.hmg.gov.uk/files/.../coalition-programme.pdf
The article also touches on the issue of Nuclear energy when Huhne was asked about an independent claims the public might have to pay for the 'handling' of nuclear waste, Huhne rejected the claims. "The Conservative-LibDem coalition agreement makes a commitment to a new fleet of nuclear power stations, while allowing LibDems to oppose the plan."-Guardian
