* Energy : Britain has committed to producing 20% of energy needs from renewable means by 2020, but incredibly excluding nuclear power. So we build useless eyesore windfarms, as above, and the government uses Green initiatives as a means of stealth taxing. We produce only 2% of the world’s CO2 emissions, and if we stopped completely now, China alone would replace them in less than a year. Government has failed to secure energy supplies for the future, largely by ignoring nuclear power, and we now face vast price increases from increasingly unreliable overseas sources. EU environment regulations require us to prematurely close perfectly adequate coal powered stations, with no replacement generating capacity in place.
This is possibly the largest crisis that faces us, through a combination of Green Party eco-babble, EU strong arm measures, and the poison of environmental political correctness.
