Household energy bills will rise by more than £300 a year as a result of the Coalition’s green policies, a senior Downing Street adviser has told David Cameron. The Prime Minister has been warned that government plans to get people to reduce their bills through efficiency measures are likely to fail. Mr Cameron is said to be “very worried” about the figures in the paper, written by Ben Moxham, his senior energy adviser who was recently brought in to beef up the Prime Minister’s policy unit. Intriguingly, the possibility of reversing some policies is also raised. Mr Moxham asks: “Can we open some of our policies?” --Andrew Porter, The Daily Telegraph, 5 September 2011
