the government's drive to deliver clean power is "the best way" to bring down energy costs, amid calls from opposition parties to scrap green levies. The energy secretary told an industry conference the UK's dependence on fossil fuels was its "Achilles heel" and argued clean power was the only way to reduce bills. The UK government is aiming for clean power to meet 95% of electricity demand by 2030, and Miliband has pledged to lower average bills by 300 by that date.

The new budget law signed by President Trump slashed incentives for clean power, leaving new solar and wind projects with limited options to qualify for tax credits.
