Ahem!
So, having read your report, Philip, does this mean the new green strategy will be based on wind-turbines and solar panels? Oh not that I'm saying it's the right or wrong strategy...
But assuming the Government will go ahead with a green energy strategy, what technology are they basing it upon?
They could invest tens of billions of pounds in something and then discover it doesn't work as they thought...such as the present wind-turbine system which is quite a failure!
My bet is they don't know the answer.
Nuclear in not only dangerous, but faaar to costly. Gov. knows this. It costs far too much to build atom power stations. Oil could be a trap if not only because the supply could be shut off in occasion of some crisis (see Dover Port on this matter too).
The whole transport system could collapse if oil supplies were blocked.
Ms. Sandys seems to have implied this when mentioning sovereignty from politicised countries which export fossil combustibles.
I'm quite curious to see which strategy for clean energy the Government will choose, and how many tens of billions they say will be invested in it, especially considering the failure of the modern wind-turbine
