Sir, – I applaud your editorial “Towards a low-carbon society” ( May 31st) for what you propose but question the plausibility of your claim. As much as I would like to see Moneypoint power station closed, do you have any scientific basis to show that the 915 megawatts it generates can be offset by increased home insulation and retrofit schemes and other clean energy measures? Also, what do you propose the 500 or so workers should do once Moneypoint is closed? – Yours, etc,
