David Cameron hints at further cuts to green energy subsidies
David Cameron has hinted he would like to cut green subsidies that force up energy bills, after questioning
the "sanity" of onshore wind farms.
David Cameron said we should "look very carefully" at green subsidies
The Prime Minister said he would "think very carefully" about green subsidies for energy sources such as
wind farms and solar panels, as they "end up on consumer bills".
He admitted that fuel bills are being driven up by green subsidies, even though the Department of Energy
and Climate Change largely blames the rising cost of gas for soaring energy costs.
The Coalition's official policy is to subsidise wind farms, solar panels and other renewable energy to help
Britain meet its targets on reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The UK has signed up to green targets to
tackle climate change.
However, Mr Cameron has come under fire from environmentalists for appearing to row back on promises
to be the "greenest government ever".
