Huhne renewal energy critics
This article, representing more “grist to the mill” in the environment and energy debate explains
The climate and energy secretary, Chris Huhne, will attack “climate sceptics and armchair engineers” for criticising renewables, in a speech on Wednesday on the economic benefits of green energy.
Huhne will insist the government is backing renewable energy and has resolved to make the UK the largest market in Europe for offshore wind.
His speech to the annual renewable industry conference comes in the wake of the publication of government proposals to reduce subsidies for green technologies including onshore wind, although the plans contained better news on support for offshore wind, wave and tidal power.
