Energywatch launches new website

The independent consumers' watchdog Energywatch launched a new website, Energyfuture, on Monday 6 March. The site contains a mix of facts, opinion pieces, articles, and straw polls on the future of UK energy. It aims to give people 'a voice' in the lead-up to the UK energy review and to promote and encourage the sustainable use of energy. UK Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Energy minister Malcolm Wicks welcomed the new site saying "How we power our lives is fast becoming one of the crucial questions of our time ... resources like the energyfuture website make a valuable contribution to this."
