FPA was started in 2011. We've gone through a lot – and accomplished a
lot – since then. We have our eyes on the prize, and with our many allies we intend
to make concrete gains this year. We are welcoming new members,
and people who want to work with us in other ways.
More than any other time in the past few years, fuel poverty and
energy policy are in the headlines.
·
Will Theresa May really bring the bills down as she’s
promising? What pressure are she and the companies under – and how
can we increase it?
·
Would her plans dent the increase in deaths from fuel poverty due to
government policy – on everything from benefits sanctions to housing?
·
How can we support the fight against fracking?
·
How can we expose the cost of Hinkley C as opposed to solar, wind and tidal
power?
·
Why are people in arrears being forced onto Prepayment Meters and then
forced to pay more than their better off neighbours – even after the proposed
“cap”?
·
Why doesn’t London yet have a public energy company as
Nottingham and Bristol do?
·
District Heating – How can we make sure that those who run it are held
to account so that it's win-win for the climate and communities and not a PFI
disaster?
What is Fuel Poverty Action doing about all
this? What is our role, in a landscape of charities and lobbying
organisations?
How are grassroots communities organising for our energy rights?
What is being done in other countries?
How can we speak out and defend ourselves and our environment?
