The government very foolishly tried to short cut the established procedures. The government should have either followed the established procedures or enacted legislation changing those procedures, or exempting the new policy from those procedures.<BR/><BR/>The British Government must now go back and either consult as requried by the current law or change the law. Under the British system both these options are available. <BR/><BR/>I am not sure what public consultation is expected to achieve. They will get two camps presenting opposing views, and then the government will write a report that favors its own position and do what it wants. Not necessarily a waste of time, but consultation is unlikely to change the government's policy.Matthew66https://www.blogger.com/profile/14300778464353560180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-15781770762066871562007-02-15T15:00:00.000-05:002007-02-15T15:00:00.000-05:00Another example of incompetent judges swallowing "...Another example of incompetent judges swallowing "green" lies.Sinushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006916097202154090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-71670002224162528752007-02-15T10:56:00.000-05:002007-02-15T10:56:00.000-05:00What are they waiting for, a chance to become over...<I>What are they waiting for, a chance to become overreliant on Russian natural gas?</I><BR/><BR/>Yup.<BR/><BR/>Only way the idiocy stops is that blackouts return. Then the uncritical support for enviromental lobbies who are against everything and for nothing will evaporate. Look at what happened in California - it took rolling blackouts to send the activists into hiding long enough to get some new plants built here. Of course, they're gas-fired. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
