Energy Policy In Tatters.

A GOVERNMENT decision to cut subsidies for onshore windfarms in favour of more turbines out at sea was today described by Ukip as “nonsensical and frankly dangerous”. Express.

Ukip’s Roger Helmer MEP said the Government’s energy policy still made no sense.

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander announced today state help for onshore wind and solar energy was being reduced "slightly" in favour of offshore wind.

Mr Alexander said the switch in favour of offshore wind was based on "value for money" and could open the way for an extra 10 gigawatts of energy by 2020, according to Government estimates.

Some political commentators the Government’s policy change was as a result of pressure from Ukip.
