Responding to Energy Minister John Hayes' attack on wind farms, Greenpeace Energy Campaigner Leila Deen said:
“John Hayes’ petulant outburst adds to the Coalition’s growing energy shambles and to a deepening divide within Government between those who care about green growth and the economy and those who just want more oil and gas.
Here is a new minister veering off brief and publicly contradicting his bosses. His comments threaten jobs and his approach will drive up energy bills.

Middelgrunden offshore windfarm in Denmark
The government's climate change advisors yesterday announced that George Osborne's plans to pave the way for a new generation of dirty, expensive gas power could be illegal, but will the Lib Dems stand up to him now?

Responding to news today that the Chancellor George Osborne has given the oil and gas industry a multi-million pound hand-out, Dr Doug Parr, policy director at Greenpeace, said:
“It doesn’t look like Osborne cares one little bit about a true British growth sector, or about our planet. Our clean energy sector accounted for a third of all growth in the last year. Yet this massive hand-out to his polluting mates is yet another obstacle thrown in the path of Britain’s green industries.

Reducing CO2 emissions from energy generation is key to tackling climate change. Over the coming years, the UK's ageing coal, gas and nuclear power stations will need replacing and we have to decide what comes next. Do we want a clean energy future and a
thriving green economy or do we rebuild the expensive, polluting energy dinosaurs?
We're campaigning for a clean energy future. A stronger green economy with new jobs and growth. Clean, efficient renewable energy and to end CO2 emissions from electricity generation.

Davey and Clegg need to commit to carbon-free electricity by 2030
The future of the UK's energy supply - and our ability to hold back climate change emissions in Britain - is hanging in the balance. Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems must intervene to protect the Climate Change Act from George Osborne and his mates in the gas lobby.

Responding to news today that Chancellor George Osborne is set to hand-out half a billion pounds in subsidies to the gas industry, Doug Parr, head of policy at Greenpeace, said:
“Osborne’s going to hand over hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ money to the polluting and pricey gas industry. This is clearly bonkers, for economic and environmental reasons.

New wind turbines are constructed at the Butterwick Moor Wind Farm.
The Chancellor’s assault on our climate must stop. It’s time for David Cameron and Nick Clegg to intervene and stop him.

World's biggest energy bill blocks the entrace to Centrica's HQ
Since
we shut down their head office on Monday, British Gas owner Centrica have replied
to the thousands of people who emailed them about their overreliance on gas,
their lack of investment in renewables and their failure to bring energy bills
under control. But whilst they talk a good game, their spin fails to address
the real issues.

On
Monday we shut
down Centrica’s head office telling them to end the gas fuelled energy
rip-off – to bring energy bills under control and reduce CO2 by investing in
renewable energy and energy efficiency.
