Fury at German Windmill Threat

Huhne Hun horror

Germany's parliament has stolen the deckchairs on the beach of UK leadership in energy reform by voting to shut down the country's nuclear plants by 2022.

Despite being the fourth largest industrial nation after China, the US and the Britain of the 1922 Committee's alternative planet, Germany also plans to double the proportion of energy from renewables to at least 35%.

The Reichstag vote will further reinforce perceptions in the British Conservative party that the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, is too left-wing to be worthy of their company.

Conservative MEPs left the mainstream right-wing bloc in the European parliament two years ago in order to form a grand alliance with the likes of Latvia's Fatherland and Freedom Party.

The coalition's latest move towards being the greenest government ever is a U-turn on a promise to provide a network of charging points for electric cars.

Britain's energy secretary is a Liberal Democrat.
