In another surprise move, a new department of energy and climate will be created, to be headed by former Cabinet Office minister Ed Miliband.
Oh, good, another "Department of bullshit, extortion and civil service job creation".

Yes, Kevin, Ed Milliband, who said in July 1998 (in an address to the Compass Group):
Take the issue of climate change,
the biggest threat to humankind that we face. How can progressive politics address the issue? Fundamentally, it is about
government shaping markets. It is about government's role in ensuring that
we control the big forces that exist in our society, like climate change, and the protection of the next generation.
And the
new carbon budgets that we are planning will have profound effects on government. That's why we need to have a manifesto that thinks radically about our energy policy, our transport policy, our urban policy - and also about our economic policy. Because we see in economics today, with the oil price as it is,
economics and environmentalism coming together. That means thinking very hard and very seriously about the alternatives to oil, but it also means thinking very seriously about how we can be ahead with the green economy of the future.
(My emphasis added)
Big Brother riding the green bandwagon. A dangerous situation!
