Since the election of the Conservatives in May this year, the discussion of energy has been relatively minimal. This is all change now though as the debate on climate change and renewable energy has been hotting up - or rather cooling down, as cuts have been made to both solar and wind subsidies.
Former US Vice President Al Gore, known also as the founder of the Alliance for Climate Protection, has weighed in with his two cents claiming he is "puzzled" by the government's measures to rollback support for renewable energy. He wants to see Britain reconcile its leadership on climate change to help forge a global agreement for greenhouse gas emissions, which will take place at a conference in Paris this December.
