The Scottish government joined utilities, charities and churches urging Britain to impose a carbon target on the power industry, the broadest call yet from groups seeking to guide debate on legislation in Parliament.

WWF led 35 organizations from SSE Plc to Oxfam Feb. 20 asking the U.K. to include the target in an Energy Bill being scrutinized by lawmakers in London.
