Commenting on the Conservative election manifesto published today, Greenpeace UK chief scientist Dr Doug Parr said:

"The Tory manifesto pledge on energy is a recipe for higher consumer bills. Onshore wind is the cheapest form of low-carbon power. Stopping it whilst also committing to cutting carbon emissions only means we'll have to invest in more expensive sources of clean energy, driving up bills. The Tories' double standards and ideological bias are embarrassingly obvious. They'll champion localism when it comes to wind farms, but they'll run roughshod over local people's concerns when it's about fracking."
