Green taxes being rolled back

Would green taxes being rolled back say after next years budget mean energy bills being reduced, making short term fixes less attractive?

    Depends by how much they are reduced.

    £5 discount per fuel to be announced only after they are re-elected would be guess!! - Paid for by a £50 reduction in the Winter Fuel Allowance!

    Best thing to do would be abolish all green taxes and subsidies. Let the so called green industries stand or fall on there own merits.

    All pie in the sky, the green taxes will not be rolled back, just a lot of hot air from number 10
