Green taxes are crippling the recovery

Daily Mail
"Unilateralist was widely used as a term for those who favoured Britain's nuclear disarmament regardless of any agreement from other countries to do the same. Now we have the green unilateralists. It is embodied in Government policy by the Climate Change Act that imposes legal requirements on the UK concerning CO2 emissions that apply regardless of the rest of the world. Forcing energy-using industries to migrate abroad can not make sense however convinced you might be that global warming is a reality. We are already uncompetitive so far as tax and regulation is concerned - something the 'green agenda' contributes to. Artificially forcing up energy prices is indeed a tipping point for many companies. The Government should heed the warning from manufacturing industry."
