For a man whose opponents might label him a tiresome windbag, it is unfortunate that Ed Miliband has been unable to prevent his green energy revolution from being all but blown out. [emphasis, links added]
Not that he’s having any of that, of course.
Listening to the energy secretary respond to the news that Danish renewables giant Ørsted had pulled the plug on the Hornsea 4 wind farm off the Yorkshire coast, you might wonder if the announcement had got lost in the post on its way to the Energy Department.
“We are still committed to working with Ørsted to seek to make Hornsea 4 happen by 2030,” Miliband told reporters while visiting Norway.
Yet sadly for the Energy Secretary, a “computer says no’’ approach won’t make this disappear.
