    Tory donor knocks the wind out of Coalition's green energy 'sales'

    Supporter says the Government is missing huge investment opportunities due to its 'misleading

    ' eco policies

    One of the Conservative party's biggest donors has launched an unprecedented attack on

    George Osborne, David Cameron and Ed Davey, accusing them of squandering an opportunity

    to create thousands of jobs and billions of pounds of revenues by scaring off desperately-needed

    investors in the UK offshore wind industry.

    Alexander Temerko, a significant British energy investor whose company Offshore Group

    Newcastle builds foundations for offshore wind turbines and constructs oil and gas platforms

    , is best known for being one of the 12 Tory party donors who enjoyed a private dinner with the

    highest echelons of the Conservative party this spring after making donations totalling more than

    £50,000. He has donated a total of £208,500 to the party in the past two years.

    But he has become extremely frustrated by what he calls the Government's "hypocritical" approach

    to energy policy and is dismissive of David Cameron's pledge to lead the "greenest government ever".
