There's an election on so I'll come and bat for my team.
The idiocy of all the parties energy policies knows no bounds.
None of them are actually going to do it as they all know they won't work.
(Ignoring UKIP here as they seem to have forgotten they have an energy policy).

This may be old news, but it is unbelievable old news:
“The data doesn't matter. We're not basing our recommendations on the data. We're basing them on the climate models.”
- Prof. Chris Folland, Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The models are convenient fictions that provide something very useful.”
- Dr David Frame, climate modeler, Oxford University
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I believe it is appropriate to have an 'over-representation' of the facts on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience."
- Al Gore, Climate Change activist
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true."
- Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace

But then again, on second thoughts ... it is what we expect from them!
There are more, so worth a visit to the site.

Could there possibly be an awakening?
The £200bn economic bombshell lurking in the Labour Party’s manifesto
" Ed Miliband's commitment to set a legal target for decarbonising the UK power sector by 2030 is likely to cost upwards of £200bn, according to analysis conducted by the TelegraphThe Labour Party’s manifesto promise to set “a legal target to remove carbon from our electricity supply by 2030” – referred to repeatedly by the Labour leader in speeches since September 2013 and during the election campaign – could result in a huge increase in energy costs for households and businesses. The findings also raise questions about Mr Miliband’s promises to tackle what he calls Britain’s “cost-of-living crisis” and freeze energy prices for two years.
The Telegraph’s figures have been reviewed by three energy experts on condition of anonymity as they wanted to remain politically impartial........ "

That sounds useful. If you can ask a politician about the views of another politician, he's more likely to think about it. Norway has some form in spotting fraud - it was their environment minister who called Lord Deben a 'drittsekk'.

The MSM refuses to mention UKIP's 90% sensible energy policy.
