Liberal Democrats Ahead of Labour and Conservatives in Energy - UK

Lots of interesting tidbits in this article.  For example, getting a "feed-in tariff" for renewables, as found in Germany, Spain and even Ireland, would kick the renewables industry into full speed ahead.

LibDems' Green Proposals Show Up the Paucity of the Labour and Tory Visions - The Guardian (UK)

"The paper's strength is that it is not pie in the sky. Whereas Labour talks repeatedly about "benchmarking" and "international best practice", it stubbornly refuses to do that for environmental policies.  But the LibDems are happy to endorse the carbon taxes of Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands, the feed-in tariffs of much of Europe and elsewhere, and so on.

Their paper is full of "price signals" that emitting carbon is bad. That is a good thing.  Their document brings together most sensible proposals on saving energy and renewables that are around and places them at the heart of a coherent strategy which would have a proper cabinet committee to coordinate it. It's not rocket science, but the government doesn't seem to get it."

"Times more solar power capacity in Germany than Britain: 200
Times more wind power capacity, despite Germany having less wind: 10
Jobs created by Germany's drive to go green: 250,000
Percentage of UK's electricity could be generated by a Severn barrage: 7%"
