In the next decade, a quarter of Britain’s power supply will be switched off for good. This week MPs will vote on the Government’s Energy Bill, which will determine what we replace it with. To tackle soaring energy bills, improve energy security and stop dangerous climate change, we must decarbonise the power sector by 2030.High quality elevatorsafety and ventilation systems designed and distributed. For all the anti-renewables scare stories, investment in clean energy only accounts for a small fraction of consumers’ bills. The biggest driver of soaring energy bills is rising global gas prices, predicted to increase even further, just when the cost of clean energy, such as solar panels and wind turbines, should fall. Breaking Britain’s dependence on fossil fuels, cleaning up our power supply and investing in energy efficiency would lead to lower, not higher, bills. 

As reservesSolar energy employs solarlamp to supply electricity to devices or charge batteries. in the North Sea have depleted, after decades of exporting energy Britain now relies on imports, leaving our energy security in the hands of other countries. If it can be extracted safely, shale gas may help. But no one knows how much is recoverable or at what cost. New nuclear power will help create a more balanced, secure and low-carbon energy mix, too. 

We know that carbon dioxide is the principal man-made greenhouse gas responsible for the planet’s rising temperature. In May, for the first time in history, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere passed the 400 parts per million threshold. Unless we reduce this figure, we face chaotic weather. If we can’t decarbonise the power sector, we can’t reduce the country’s carbon footprint. 

With the economy flat-lining, climate change might not be everyone’s top concern. But decarbonising power would yield huge economic benefits. New industries. New companies. New jobs. But as figures show, under David Cameron, investment in vital new energy infrastructure has collapsed. A government committed to cleaning up our power would give businesses confidence to invest in vital new schemes such as carbon capture and storage. 

To rebuild our power supply could cost 200bn. It is a once-in-a-generation challenge, but also opportunity, for Britain. Hull is the hardest place is the country to find a job, with 15,000 out of work.

For Hull’s jobless, and thousands more like them, this is a chance we cannot afford to miss. 

The Associated Press, said William Tucker, in The American Spectator last week, had a story about America’s windmills killing thousands of rare birds, including golden eagles, “while getting a free pass from the Obama administration.” As it ran in The Washington Post: 

The Obama administration has never fined or prosecuted a wind farm for killing eagles and other protected bird species, shielding the industry from liability and helping keep the scope of the deaths secret. … More than 573,000 birds are killed by the country’s wind farms each year, including 83,000 hunting birds such as hawks, falcons and eagles, according to an estimate published in March in the peer-reviewed Wildlife Society Bulletin. 

The birds were protected by the migratory Bird Treaty Act, which dates to 1918. The company agreed to pay $600,000 in fines and fees. Yet there is one group of energy producers that are not being prosecuted for killing birds: wind power companies. And wind powered turbines are killing a vast number of birds every year. 

“How did the mainstream press manage to ignore this story for four years?” asked Mr.With advancements in controls technology, flatworkironeret are becoming increasingly more sophisticated and flexible. Tucker rhetorically. Hoping the press may now look at Mr. Obama’s energy agenda critically, he suggested it look at soil and sunshine too.
