Guardian: Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrat energy secretary, has promised to "fight like a tiger" against Conservative attempts to cut green levies on gas and electricity bills.

He spoke out after David Cameron said he wanted to roll back green charges...

Telegraph: A growing public backlash against green energy levies on household bills, and the spread of wind turbines across the countryside, has led senior Tories to plot radical steps to protect the landscape and cut costs for customers. Conservative ministers have drawn up a four-point plan to prevent the growth of wind farms and other forms of renewable energy such as solar power plants from blighting the countryside. David Cameron used last week's Cabinet reshuffle to promote a leading critic of wind...
