One must hope that Ed Miliband's stint at DECC will not be forgotten as he works to develop his "new" Labour policies, though there was little encouragement in his conference speech and generally the lack of green issues on the conference agenda is woeful.
While at DECC he appeared to demonstrate a strong understanding of the threat from climate change, and the many challenges facing the UK if we are to adhere to our environmental targets and still "keep the lights on". There is now a genuine need for him to bring environmental policy to the fore to challenge the government where there seems to be Tory backsliding which the LDs are failing to arrest - FITs and and the RHI being two obvious issues.
Here's hoping
