Fine words may be being uttered but much more needs to done with much more energy, urgency and vigour.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tim Farron, former leader of the Liberal Democrats and shadow Environmental Secretary, echoed the sustainability group&#8217;s criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/8026292676_9d224b5ff1_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45416\" width=\"436\" height=\"290\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tim Farron. Former leader of the Liberal Democrats and shadow Environmental Secretary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: &#8220;We have known for some time that the Conservative Government have no intention of helping people with the energy crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey have shown time and time again that they are completely out of touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhilst Rishi Sunak is upgrading the electricity grid to heat his personal pool people are choosing whether or not to feed their children or heat their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Liberal Democrats want to tackle this crisis head on which is why we have passed new policy this weekend at our Spring Conference to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Conservatives decision to continually underinvest into renewable energy and insulating our homes has directly led to the crisis. We plan to change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnder our plans we will boost our investment into renewables, remove the restrictions the Government have placed on new schemes, and give local authorities the power to build renewable energy sources to serve communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot only will we cut energy bills back to the levels they were in April 2021 but we will also build a social tariff to care for the most vulnerable within our society whilst working to insulate all UK homes by 2030. The effects of this will be enormous and cut our emissions and fuel bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Liberal Democrats want to solve the energy crisis by building a sustainable future for this country, which is fair to everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the ambitious climate goals across the political spectrum, it is clear to see that there is heated debate and considerable discourse over the UK&#8217;s environmental future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Coffey&#8217;s full constituency letter can be viewed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"719\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/TCP1-719x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45358\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/TCP2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45360\" width=\"717\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/TCP2.png 717w, https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/TCP2-480x389.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 717px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Coffey has faced criticism for what she has written in a letter, highlighting her views on the ambitions and achievements of her party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":118,"featured_media":45441,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[919,684,1125,1124,99,1126,517,9],"class_list":["post-45320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-climate","tag-climate-change","tag-eco","tag-energy","tag-environment","tag-epc","tag-green","tag-sheffield"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
