That’s the bad news from a new report released today:
Our forecasts show that the government is set to miss not only its 20 percent carbon reduction goal by 2010, but also its declared target of obtaining 10 percent of UK electricity supply from renewable sources … by 2010 and 15 percent by 2015.
Instead it will get just five percent from renewables by 2010, rising to 12.5 percent by 2015, the report said.

This was always going to happen.
Centrally imposed targets like this don’t work (isn’t that one of the core liberal insights?)
In other news, tractor production targets have been met.
Mr Mills:- You mean just like those centrally imposed international targets to cut CFCs?
Mark might want to take a look here and retract accordingly. “Lib Dems set to miss news immeidacy targets”?
Ooops. Chris Paul set to miss spelling accuracy target?
I’ve updated the post. Thanks Chris (sort of!).
Would be good to have a hat tip on the face of the blog with the update! Please. It’s only fair.
