Every year the issue of climate change is key in political debate and the 2010 election promises to create employment opportunities and lower energy costs simultaneously. These are only a few of the potential changes we can expect in the future.

As thousands of people cast their vote as election week comes to an end there is a general air of anticipation as the campaigns come to a close. So who gets your vote?

As a homeowner there is a lot of information to digest and countless promises being made in terms of developments in the world of energy efficiency. Here is the low down on various issues that could affect homeowners in the future.

All parties have included environmental policies in their campaigns to show how they will deal with issues of climate change if they are elected. The Labour party has pledged to increase employment opportunities and lower costs through their Pay as you Save scheme. The Labour party aims to create over 400, 000 green jobs within the next five years alone.

The Conservative party intends to fight climate change by introducing smart meter technology and also by rewarding the general public for recycling. Aiming to combat waste is among their other future goals.

The Liberal Democrats have pledged to lower electricity costs by using a smart metering system but also promises that 20 per cent of energy will come from a renewable source in the next 10 years.
