AS I have long predicted, the loony greenies and their fellow travellers have ensured with their bizarre energy policies the costs will fall on the most vulnerable.
As wealthy landowners and businessmen wax fat on wind turbines, a long-since discredited source of reliable electricity, the little people have their bills loaded.
We must demand exactly how much of our bills now and in the future go on making politicians feel important at world conferences.
Incidentally, it is now an unchallenged fact that there has been no global warming since 1995.

• THE recent price rises announced by energy suppliers are once again a major cause for concern.
Coupled with an increase in food prices, these mounting pressures are going to have an enormous impact, especially for the poorest among us.
As a national charity which helps people in financial need, we recognise the reality of this situation, with 60 per cent of the people we have helped saying that before they came to the charity, they had not been able to keep up with bill payments, and more than half saying they had been forced to miss one of their recommended three meals a day.
In today’s modern, affluent society, people should simply never be in a position where they are forced to choose between whether they “heat or eat”.
No doubt this coming winter we will hear more stories of people struggling with their rising fuel bills.
With 3.3 million households in the UK still living in fuel poverty, we urge action by all stakeholders to prevent further price rises and ensure further provision is made for the most vulnerable.
