How many British politicians does it take to change a lightbulb? That was the question on many people's lips after Australia today announced plans to ban the sale of inefficient incandescent lightbulbs within three years.

Reacting to the news, Greenpeace climate campaigner Laura Yates said: "The UK government says it is leading the world in the fight against catastrophic climate change, but hasn't yet seen the light and continues to allow the sale of these energy hungry dinosaurs in our shops."

The government will have to conduct a new, fuller review if they want to justify the future of nuclear power in the UK.

Government's key energy review on trial

Green groups gather outside the High Court as the government's energy review goes on trial

The government's decision to back a new fleet of nuclear power stations in the UK was "legally flawed", the High Court has heard.

In the Royal Courts of Justice in London, Greenpeace will argue that the government's recent energy review was not the "fullest public consultation" it had committed itself to before making a decision to back new nuclear power stations. The commitment had been made in the earlier energy white paper in 2003.
