A recent survey of people in Northampton showed that residents were impressively active on and aware of green issues. 98% of respondents recycled their paper and glass and 86% used low energy light bulbs. The survey also asked which types of power generation people were interested in seeing locally - solar power came out on top. Views on nuclear were surprisingly divided with only just over 50% totally against and the remainder prepared to see nuclear power as part of the UK energy mix if it meant lower bills or a reduction in CO2 emissions, or less dependence on unstable Arab states for oil. Sally Keeble will be holding a second energy meeting for constituents to decide on how Northampton can take these views forward.
