Commenting on David Cameron's conference speech in Blackpool today, John Sauven, Executive director of Greenpeace UK, said:
"David Cameron failed to give us any real substance on how he would deliver his environmental vision. There was no mention of airports or forests, and nothing on energy. The Tories won't be seen as the party of 'sensible green leadership' until we see his rhetoric reflected in radical manifesto pledges during the next election. However, Peter Ainsworth's earlier proposition - to penalise power companies that waste huge amounts of heat in the electricity generation process - is very welcome."
