Green Deal (http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/tackling/green_deal/green_deal.aspx) is a government initiative to help people improve their homes and businesses energy efficiency.

People are able to install new boilers, insulation, solar panels or a range of other things (they are encouraged to install more than one) to help them to stop wasting energy or to produce renewable energy. These changes mean they save on energy bills and the savings are used as repayments for the products they had installed.

Rob speaks with the Department of Energy and Climate Change's David Thomas (Deputy Director of Green Deal Demand) about the Green Deal.
