Today, the government announced how it was reducing the support it gives to the solar industry through Feed in Tariffs or FITS. The slashing of support will be felt most significantly among those new clean energy companies who have invested heavily in manufacturing solar panels. According to the magazine, Business Green, over 20,000 new jobs were created last year in the solar industry. Now as a result of the halving of most of the tariffs, those companies face a difficult year ahead.

Is this really the 'greenest government ever'?

Is it really a year since David Cameron, newly ensconced as prime minister, assured us that the coalition would be the "greenest government ever"? It's an anniversary worth remembering, if only to consider how, in environmental terms, Cameron's government seems stuck in reverse.

Do the Tories 'get' climate change?

So, the top ten Tory bloggers are all climate sceptics. So what?

Flowers growing in a greenhouse heated through combined heat and power

Remember 1997? Imagine somebody had predicted then that, within a decade, the Conservatives would be advocating "a revolution in green energy" and New Labour would be the only mainstream party still clinging to nuclear power as a central part of their energy policy.
