Tell us something we don't know! Still, it's nice to see the mainstream media picking up on a story that has been doing the rounds of the blogosphere for several years.

A new report found Europe has given £75 million to green lobbying groups, including Friends of the Earth and Climate Action Network.

“Taxpayers pay twice: once for the grants, then again with the higher prices that result when environmentalist groups successfully campaign for new regulations,” the report said.

It claims many of these groups campaign for new regulations that could lead to higher energy bills for British households.
