Logical Development

Ed Davey (not to be confused with Ed or Davey), the Deputy Conservative doormat at the Department of Profiteering, Prole-Freezing and Planet-Cooking, has announced that the British taxpayer will no longer be required to fund coal-fired power stations in developing countries, except in "rare circumstances" and to the highest technological standards. Naturally, companies with a profitable interest in fossil fuels will do nothing at all to make the circumstances less rare; and in any case, the money will be required to keep up all the coal-fired power stations in the United Kingdom, which the Government has no intention of decommissioning. "It is completely illogical for countries such as the UK and the US to be decarbonising our energy sectors while paying for coal-fired power plants to be built in other countries," Davey proclaimed, just in case we hadn't noticed the greenest government ever, its radical reductions in carbon emissions during every year of its tenure in office, its constant battles with the Davey-disappointing Big Six and, of course, the dynamic, uncompromising firebrand for badger-busting, bee-bothering and executive urging.
