Government to reveal how, after 9 years they still do not have an agreed and coherent national Energy Policy

Now that The Dear Leader realises what a hole he has dug in having no coherent or agreed Energy Policy , he is rushing one out today. .. or at least Alastair Darling (NuLabour Energy Minister no 6) is,(HOC this afternoon) so he can take the shit that is better directed at the new convert to nuclear power at No. 10.

The DTI has recently published its quarterly Energy Trends report with data up to and including the first quarter of this year (2006). The report is available for download here: Energy Trends June 2006 (PDF alert)

Chris Vernon at The Oil Drum provides, as ever a detailed and valuable exegisis with some fascinating (and deeply disturbing graphs) which is required reading before evaluating the Gubment blather you can expect today. There is also a wealth of informed comment.

Up to Press it seems that the main element of darling's plan will be to provide Stalinist Planning Controls for locations which already have Nuclear stations owned by British Energy.

The Founder of Forthcoming UK Energy Deficiency (FCUKED) will watch events, and the discomfort of the Gubment with ill disguised glee.
