I read it this morning.. and I could not believe it..

I am with you on the nuclear nonsense and on the cost issue...

I am not sure about the trading-scheme.. as y ou say they can be thinking on term of doing-nothing.. but they also could be thinking in terms of how much money is the lOndon city to get... and there... may be wind is a problem... though I am not sure  because we are talking about 20% of energy... but still they may thing that it is a long term threat that they'd better cut now...

Either this.. or they are plainly stupid kids with no neurons in their brains..

I agree with you that the reference to the carbon trading scheme must be related to the fact that the less energy is produced using coal and gas, the less volume there is to trade, and that is "bad for the trading scheme" of you're a trader or broker and make commission money on the volume.

Then again... 20% renewables by 2020 doesn't mean that the total amount of non-renewable energy will decrease. it just won't increase as much as it otherwise could.
