In my view, Big Business rules. Therefore to stop fracking, ask the big brewery companies for their scientific analysis about the risk of polution of the water able on their beers. What would be cost of being sued by beer consumers as a result of drinking beer mde with contaminated water?

To reduce the demand for electricity from the grid, change national building regulations so that greater insulation and modern solar roofs are installed in new builds A company named Minus 7 gave a presentation to our Renewable Energy committee of Bideford Town Council It was stated the up to 4 kwe fell on roofs even during the night and the panels could store the electricity generated.

To reduce carbon emissions by people commuting, building regulations should also require that fibre optic cables be installed from cabinet to premises by the telecommunication companies. 1 gbps broadband downloads should be the goal as it is in South Korea.Also EV (electric vehicle) charging points should be required for every new home built.

To ensure a proportion of “affordable homes” are built perhaps an earned profits allowance equal to the cost price of building the “affordable homes” could be set against profits. However, this must be part of a new alternative open source economic operating system that does not require so many patches and bug fixes of policy interventions by governments.
