Edward Davey appointed Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change
Edward Davey MP has today been appointed Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change.
Arriving at DECC’s headquarters in London, Mr Davey said:
“This is a sad day because Chris Huhne has had a real vision for a green economy and he’s done fabulous work as Secretary of State.
“I’ve now got to take up the challenges - the challenge of climate change, the challenge of energy security.

Appropriate safeguards are being put in place to avoid any conflicts of interest.

DOE's Untold Impact on Solar
The Obama Administration's $60 billion Loan Guarantee Program (LGP) for renewable energy is considered a failure because of Solyndra, Beacon Power, and potential 2012 bankruptcies. What is not well known is that 75 percent of the program's deployed funds went to relatively low risk power plants that will catapult the U.S. to a leadership role in the utility-scale solar sector. This is hardly the hallmark of a "failed program." The program is akin to Shakespeare's King Henry V, who said as a delinquent Prince: "I'll so offend as to make offense a skill, redeeming time when men think least I will."
