Lord Oxburgh, chairman of Falck Renewables, has moved an amendment to the Energy Bill that would require the country to adopt a 2030 decarbonisation target.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is as good a summary of the corrupt state of the nation as you could possibly want.
[Update: It seems that Lord O is no longer a director of Falck. He remains a director of another green energy company 2OC, is an advisor to a green investment fund, and is chairman of the Carbon Capture and Storage Association.]
