An insider's view on EU environment policy

Bacon Butty is a blog written by a British civil servant working in environmental policy which I read occasionally. There's a very interesting posting up at the moment about the folly of the EU's renewable energy policy. Bureaucrats usually only stir themselves to a little gentle concern after a disaster has struck - when their jobs, perks and administrative empires are under threat in the glare of public attention. That they are concerned about EU policy already would seem to suggest that things have gone very badly awry.

'British civil servant'? That chap is the Head of Environmental Policy at the Environment Agency. Not sure whether it's entirely appropriate for him to be sharing his views on such matters.

Yes, I did wonder about whether he's actually allowed to comment in this way, but it's always nice to get an insider's view, so I didn't want to draw attention to it.

I think Clive's blog is great, I have a feeling from his Cambridge links and his interest in cycling that he might even live close to me. Thanks for highlighting his site, it is really interesting and I shall keep checking it.
