Yesterday, the Cabinet unanimously approved the content of the long-awaited energy review, which will be published next week. It will include plans to make sure that by 2020, one fifth of the country's electricity comes from renewable sources. That proportion is to double by 2050.
On top of that, the Government has a target to ensure that by 2010, 5 per cent of the petrol and diesel used by road vehicles comes from renewable sources.
Yesterday, the Tories issued their own proposals for future energy supplies, in which they also promised to "give green energy a chance".
