The United Kingdom has become the first nation in the world to adopt a legally binding emissions target beyond 2020, mandating a dramatic 50 percent cut in greenhouse gases from 1990 levels by 2025.
The welcome announcement from Britain’s conservative Coalition government comes as Australia falls further behind the clean energy trend. Politicians at home continue debating the best way to achieve just a 5 percent cut in emissions below 2000 levels in the same period: carbon tax or direct action - and in WA and NSW, cutbacks on solar energy feed-in tariff schemes and a premature reduction to the nation Solar Credits rebate put pressure on a transition to a green, clean economy.
