The bonfire of the subsidies, is a vanity project, gone expensively wrong.

Oh, I think even Josh might be prepared to concede the title to Matt.
His cartoons and the crosswords are the only things that still makes the Telegraph worth reading.

Green Sand - good link - but I fear it misses the point of the crony capitalism involved.

I was at an offshore exhibition yesterday and it's quite apparent that there is considerable confidence that offshore wind is "ringfenced" and that there is huge uncritical acceptance that offshore wind is viable long term.

One notable feature of offshore wind is an apparent determination to do it all their own way without referencing the experience of Oil & Gas offshore - indeed several exhibitors I spoke to on being informed that I was a 30 yr veteran of offshore operations became quite defensive - without I would add ... any provocation on my part.

Adam's drawings would not have worked with a LibDem seagull and Camoron in a small boat......

Just brilliant....

Watched some guy from Renewables UK (where else..?) being interviewed by Kay Burley on Sky News - talking (very fast and BOY do these guys pick their words carefully..!) about onshore wind farms..

'Without subsidies it will be an industry in crisis.... thousands of jobs lost.... 10% of power is now from renewables and will be 75% by 2030..... cheaper than nuclear... etc etc....'

Unfortunately Kay Burley was unable to challenge him because she, like all meeja figures, has swallowed the 'global warming' mantra...

What omnologos said. Second finest, and that by a large margin.

Also in today's Telegraph, this article about what direction the Tories energy and environment policy could take now they are no longer tied to the Lib Dems. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/greenpolitics/11684350/The-Tories-must-seize-the-chance-to-rethink-climate-change-policy.html

Perhaps they need more CO2, to encourage growth.

Matt keeps me sane!

However that is just a theory and has not been peer reviewed.

The tide is turning.

I vote Josh as number 1. :)

No, finest. As Eliot says of Tennyson "Abundance, variety and complete competence are seldom found together except at the highest level".
