Blowing It Again

Well, here's a thing: the commitment of the greenest government ever to renewable energy appears to have gone much the same way as its commitment to the NHS and everyone paying their share. Wind energy companies are complaining that the Government is leaving too much to the free market: "The most important issue that our customers have is a long-term policy framework," blasphemed one chief executive with a foreign name, while others had the temerity to call for a planned economy based on something other than the hard-headed common sense of a few City gamblers and asset-strippers. One would think that a party which contained Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Sayeeda Warsi might have a certain enthusiasm for wind; but Daveybloke and his special nuncio to Belize, Willem den Haag, apparently believe they've struck oil in Somalia, so everything's on hold until the fuzzy-wuzzies can be helped to an appropriate perspective on who that belongs to.
