UK CLIMATE CHANGE BILL HAS MASSIVE COST SAYS FORMER MINISTER

Former Conservative minister, Peter Lilley has criticised the lack of financial scrutiny of the UK's climate change bill. It could cost each citizen as much as £10,000 he warns. The government's figures are naturally vague and the true cost and benefits (if there are any)are open to question.

The UK's renewable energy targets were also criticised in a House of Lords report which stated that they will add £80 a year to energy bills, though the targets were unlikely to be met.
