Reuters: EU ministers meeting in Dublin stood far apart on what energy and environment policy could follow a set of 2020 targets, with a binding legal deal unlikely before 2015. Energy firms, with long investment cycles, say there is an urgent need for a new EU policy framework.

The country has subsidies for fossil fuels, subsidies for nuclear power, subsidies for wind and solar, and subsidies for insulating and retrofitting buildings. We also have energy standards for some appliances and miles per gallon standards for automobiles.

Energy policy must be about bringing down bills, not green preaching, says Cameron

Telegraph: The Prime Minister said both saving money and going green are important. However, people will not be persuaded to back green policies if ministers just talk about saving the planet. Speaking on the Eastleigh by-election campaign trail, he said it was important to stress that saving energy and reducing reliance on fossil fuels are actually cost effective. "In tough times, its important to explain to people that going green is not just about saving the planet it's about saving households money,"...
