Summary

Renewable energy such as wind and solar produces electricity without emitting climate-changing gases, and by using decentralised energy systems which generate heat and power close to our businesses and homes, we can save huge amounts of energy normally wasted by centralised power stations.

Climate change is clearly the bandwagon to be on at the moment. The new green-blue Tories (what colour of the political spectrum does that make them - aquamarine?) have muscled their way on board, the media is transmitting the message on all channels, and even celebrities like Thandie Newton are climbing aboard. To my knowledge, we haven't got Jimmy Carr yet but he pops up on everything else so it's only a matter of time.

The Government's recent energy review, which backed a new generation of nuclear power plants, was 'legally flawed', according to documents given to the High Court by Greenpeace at the start of a legal battle today.

Lodging legal papers at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, Greenpeace is arguing that the Government did not carry out the 'full public consultation' it had committed itself to before making a decision to back new nuclear power stations.
