SIR – Last week, there were ice-laden wind turbines idle in the still air, solar panels covered in snow, gas reserves down to eight days, and pensioners burning books to keep warm.

This is happening because politicians have been conned by anti-industrial greens into neglecting Britain’s reliable and economical coal and nuclear generators, while wasting time and money on pointless climate crusades.

When this global warming madness passes, future generations will remove this derelict solar and wind infrastructure and return to the only reliable and economical electricity options – coal, gas, hydro and nuclear.
