Greenpeace responce to Chancellor George Osborne's speech at the Energy Sector Day

Responding to Chancellor George Osborne's speech at the Energy Sector Day, Greenpeace Senior Energy Campaigner Louise Hutchins, said:

"With the world watching during the Olympics, Britain has once more been let down by a Chancellor stuck in the economics of the 1970’s whilst our competitors invest in new technologies and clean energy. With the cost of gas driving up bills, the CBI is pushing Osborne to instead generate jobs and growth by investing in clean energy. Drill baby drill, burn baby burn will harm consumers and the British economy.”
