Commenting on Government proposals to potentially power every home in Britain by wind energy by 2020, Liberal Democrat Shadow Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Secretary, Lembit Öpik MP said: "If John Hutton is signalling a change in policy towards real sustainable energy, he's taking a responsible and considered position.

"Until now, it has seemed as if the Government has been obsessed with a new generation of nuclear power stations despite all of the potential problems, costs and risks.

"The Liberal Democrats will now seek a constructive dialogue with Mr Hutton to explore potential areas of common purpose based on zero carbon technologies."
