Is this the UK’s Roscoe Bartlett?
“Some politicians dismiss the energy crisis as a hyped green agenda. It is not,” he said. “Our political system will be severely challenged the day that a British citizen turns on the light switch and nothing happens or switches on the kettle and the kettle stays cold.”
A new Tory leader must address the “vital issue” and should “seriously consider a return to developing nuclear power” alongside promoting bio-fuels, Mr Ancram says.
“We need an urgent `energy audit’, both of our potential and import requirements,” he added. “We need to know the finite limits of our own energy and begin urgently to develop alternatives, including conservation. The one thing we cannot do is to pretend that energy is not a matter for urgent debate.”
