It doesn't take a degree in economics to realise that if the Government is genuinely concerned about rising energy prices and fuel poverty, it should immediately abandon the fatuous and massively subsidised wind-power experiment and instead dash for gas. The truth, in any case, is that the Government's whole carbon-reduction plan based on hugely expensive "renewable" energy is on life-support and will soon have the plug pulled. --Dominic Lawson, The Independent, 25 October 2011
