Conservative leader David Cameron has announced his intention to drop Britain's carbon emissions to 50% of their 1990 level by 2029, calling it an environment propelled low carbon industrial revolution.
He has recognised the imperative of taking leadership in clean energy technology. The government will support the birth of a new manufacturing industry in renewables.
Their conservative party is clearly very different from our own.
It makes our meagre 5% reduction target by 2020 pale into insignificance.
Let's hope our conservative party was listening to yesterday's news from England. And for that matter our party in government as well.
Which of our two main conservative parties are you referring? Labor or Liberal (or both)?
