We've just gone to BedZED.
Here we are in one of BedZED's really nice apartments.
We're looking at a house that doesn't need central heating.
(woman) Going round the site looking at the things they have
has given me a lot more ideas about how simple it is
to actually make adjustments to more sustainable and green living.
It looks like your average house
but the materials are a lot more sustainable and a lot more green.
(man) We produced, recently, a report called the Offshore Valuation.
The headline finding of the report
is that by using just a third of the UK's offshore renewable resource
we could become a net electricity exporter.
We're in Bristol today, and this is Bristol City Council.
They recently allowed a biofuel plant to be built in Avonmouth,
which is really close to here.
And they were basically deciding on how much of the biofuels
were actually to be transported by road.
Behind us, I'm not sure you'll be able to see it on film,
but there is a lovely wind farm.
I've been very impressed by everything I've seen.
Wind turbines!
(man) You have to leave a space between the insulation and the brick.
They're taking something that is 140 to 150 years old
and actually turning it into something that is gonna be useful
in 50 years and going forward from that.
We've just got back from our trip to Drax Power Station.
It was a really interesting trip for me, I took a lot away from it.
(voice muted)
It was just really interesting to see how people can be so ingrained
in what's clearly a very intensive and...
dirty way of producing electricity.
It's interesting to see
how infrastructure that was built 50 or 60 years ago
is still relevant today.
But then you can also see how vulnerable it is.
They're keen to think about different solutions,
which was really inspiring.
- We're pretty close. - There we are.
There's a lot of uncertainty, and that's scary.
I felt quite scared, walking around.
When you're getting all that PR, all that spin from them,
of course you'll believe at the end of the day
that it's really, really safe.
50% of DECC's budget goes into decommissioning nuclear power plants.
Important public services are gonna be cut
while we're paying to clean up private companies' nuclear waste.
There is this... We ought to figure out this collective identity.
We're the young voters, the future electorate -
I think we're far more than that as well.
