I was wrong about the Climate Change Act

Douglas Carswell MP
"My biggest regret as an MP is that I failed to oppose the 2008 Climate Change Act. It was a mistake. I am sorry. .......Too often, public policy in Whitehall is shaped by residual ideas and assumptions – which turn out to be wrong. Nowhere is this more so than when it comes to energy policy. It is time for a fundamental rethink about energy policy – starting with an acknowledgment that 2008 Act has got it wrong."
