Energy department approves construction of North Sea offshore wind hub
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband announced formal regulatory approval for the multi-billion-pound generation and transmission hub off England’s north-east coast, advancing the government’s clean energy strategy.
Ed Miliband proudly wheels an oversized model of an approved offshore wind hub towards a judge. Unimpressed by its impressive scale, the judge points him back to an insufficiently detailed carbon plan. The satire contrasts concrete progress on renewable infrastructure with the government's separate obligation to produce adequate emissions plans.
