What's in? Ok, so the structures are complex - but they've mostly already been announced . The key new information here is that by 2020/21 £7.6bn a year (in today's coin) will be taken from bills to fund clean energy (that's nuclear, wind, biomass or even clean energy in other people's countries). Sounds like a lot? Yes. It's about what we currently spend on imported gas for heating and electricity in fact - more on that later. 3. What's out?
