The Threat From Green Crap Has Never Been Greater

State subsidies for renewable energy sources have so besmirched the pristine purity of the market that more green crap than coal was used for the entire quarter between April and June. "Government support has driven down the cost of renewable energy significantly and these statistics show that has successfully enabled renewables to compete with other technologies," a spokesbeing complained, while pledging that the drive towards a low-carbon economy would be duly accelerated by slamming the brakes on low-carbon investment. For the present, the only redeeming details in a generally discouraging picture are the continuing supremacy of gas and the Osbornomically-assisted rebirth of nuclear, which in combination with the Dash to Frack will propel us on winds of methane into an earth-shaking new era of best value for money for all those hard-working bill payers who hope one day to make the journey from the upper reaches of the energy cartel to their seats in the House of Donors.
