Key quotes
· 5 pulledThe cost of energy has created a poverty and health crisis in the UK.
If everyone had a fair share of renewable energy, we could all afford heating, lighting, washing, and cooking.
But profits, unfair regulations, and waste mean ordinary people aren't enjoying the benefits of energy that is cheap to produce.
And climate change-denying politicians funded by the oil lobby are taking advantage of this.
We demand affordable, homegrown, renewable energy.
