According to Business Green, Cornish MP George Eustice has been handed the role of energy and climate advisor to David Cameron.
Interestingly, he is ex-UKIP, but BG reports that he is sound (from their perspective) on environmental matters, despite having opposed windfarms in his own constituency.
One source said that while he was clearly opposed to the perceived over-development of renewables in his own constituency, he was nevertheless well informed on the overall climate and energy debate and was broadly positive towards the green economy.
The penny is taking a long time to drop with Mr Cameron.

As far as I can tell, this is his only utterance in Parliament on climate change. This makes him a very strange choice as a parliamentary adviser on the subject.
His interest in energy seems to be restricted to marine power.

Leo Hickman notes a withdrawn wind turbine application at Eustice's address, although perhaps it's a neighbour.
