Malco the Clown

No-one wants the lights to be going out in 20 years time. I’m not saying they will. They won’t.”



Of course you're not, Minister, perish the thought. Can't think why you're mentioning it at all, really. This clown (the one in the middle) is Malcolm Wicks, starting his second stint as Energy Minister, by popular demand. Fills you full of confidence, no ?

As well as nucs, the topic Mr Wicks finds particularly exciting is carbon capture and storage, “one of those happy areas where the ethical and the environmental, the commercial and the profitable, come together ". . . He refused to be drawn on details of how much support the government would offer, but concluded .. “you can’t do it on the cheap”.

Oh – that sort of profitable !

Yes, Minister, and that’s exactly what BP and their friends think, too . . .
