Chris Huhne promises UK switch to green energy will speed up

04.01.11

Energy and Climate Change secretary Chris Huhne has promised that Britain will be the fastest in the EU at adopting renewable sourced energy.

His announcement comes after recent figures ranked the UK third from bottom in the EU at sourcing cleaner energy.

He said:

"We are exceeded in our paucity of delivery only by Malta and Luxembourg. This is the legacy we have inherited. The essential legacy is pretty damn poor. We have got massive catch up. We will be the fastest improving country on renewables in the EU between now and 2020. I'm absolutely determined about that and it will happen."
