Some of the savings from removing subsidies can be transferred to former recipients in better ways: e.g. rural electricity subsidies replaced by direct grants to people who live in rural areas. Other subsidies, e.g. to aluminium smelters, can be redirected to greenhouse response.
	Technologies: The actions must recognise that:
	• the only long-term technologies are the efficient use of energy generated from renewable sources;
	• in the medium term, natural gas is a valuable, though limited, transitional fuel;
	• in greenhouse terms, there is no such thing as ‘clean coal’. Coal must be phased out. Resources should not be wasted on new coal-fired power stations or aluminium smelters based on subsidised coal electricity.
