Energy policy; the struggle between myth and fact

Thank you for doing me the honour of inviting me to give this lecture this evening. You certainly know how to torture your lecturers. This could not be a more awkward time for me because we are all in limbo this evening.

We await the fourth review of energy policy in five years to see whether fact – reality – has triumphed over myth. Rumour has it we should know next week with the publication of the government’s new energy white paper.

My guess is that this will show that energy policy is still dominated by the myths emanating from environmental concerns, though with stronger hints of a dawning of reality. Whether it will prove to be a false dawn will depend on gordon brown, our likely next prime minister.

In short, the struggle set out in the title of this lecture remains unresolved and may still do so when may is out.
