Diesel: The energy crisis quandary for businesses

from ClimateCast with Tom Heap

A Sky News Climate Show investigation has discovered businesses - and even some households - are switching from mains power to generating electricity from diesel because of soaring energy bills. This comes at a big environmental cost, while a switch to renewable energy still seems out of reach to many consumers. So how can we drive our bills down without burning more fossil fuels? On Sky News ClimateCast, Tom Heap visits an Oxfordshire butcher who says he was forced to switch to a diesel generator to keep the family business afloat. Plus, Michael Grubb, professor of energy and climate change policy at University College London, shares ideas on how to kickstart the renewable revolution while driving down the cost of energy.Producer: Emma Rae WoodhouseInterviews producer: Alys Bowen Editor: Paul Stanworth
