Green Means Slow to the UK Goverment

The government may claim to be a world leader on climate change yet this government reversed the so called ‘dash for gas’ – whereby power stations burnt gas to generate electricity, much cleaner than coal power, to support our coal industry. Too compound this we are lagging behind Germany in adoption measures that would increase uptake of renewable sources of power. They could use incentives to encourage people to put solar panels or little windmill generators on their houses if householders knew that they would be guaranteed a set fee for any surplus electricity they generate. Also the government carries on building more roads (and airports) and decreasing its investment of railways saying the passenger has to pick up the tab, meaning network upgrades will be put on hold indefinitely.
