The speech
Gordon Brown made to the Foreign Press Association earlier today was billed as
his first major proclamation on climate change and the environment since ascending to Number 10, but did it deliver? There was much reaffirming of previous statements and existing policies, but aside from a couple of big points there was nothing really new.

Reacting to Gordon Brown's speech outlining his vision to make Britain a low carbon nation, Greenpeace executive director John Sauven said:
"Brown now appears to be serious about meeting the binding EU renewables targets. But more debate won't get us there. Action is what counts, not words. No investment will take place off the back of a speech alone.

Yesterday, the World Energy Congress opened in Rome. Among the attendees was Italy's prime minister, and one of the main sponsors was ENEL, Italy's biggest energy company whose main shareholder is the government.
The World Energy Congress has a plan that lets global warming emissions
keep increasing until 2030, and proposes an expansion of nuclear power. ENEL for its part plans to get around the inconvenient fact that nuclear power was voted out of Italy in a referendum 20 years ago by building a new reactor in nearby Slovakia instead of in Italy.
