Reacting to comments by Business Secretary John Hutton, calling for Britain to become a low carbon economy, Greenpeace climate campaigner Joss Garman said: 

"Labour ministers are extremely good at making speeches like this and extremely bad at actually implementing the kind of changes that would see Britain's economy become a super-efficient low carbon model for the world. John Hutton is currently pushing forward plans to build the UK's first coal-fired power station in decades and his very own department is attempting to sabotage vital European renewable energy efforts at every twist and turn."
