A boss of green energy firm Innasol believes the flooding in southern England shows the need to for greater investment in renewable technologies
David Rae, chief financial officer with the renewable heating firm, warned that temperature rises showed a need for investing in future technologies to prevent the UK missing carbon targets.
“Last year the government invested less than £50million in renewable heating,” he said.

“Once in a hundred year storms are happening every year now.”
