Britain's energy plans have been thrown into disarray by ambitious European Union targets, the BBC has learned.
Ministers had intended to aim to produce 20% of Britain's electricity from renewable sources by 2020.

But EU targets state 20% of all energy - including fuel for home heating domestic aviation and cars, as well as electricity, must come from renewables.

BBC environment correspondent Roger Harrabin says a forthcoming white paper will cover over the policy gaps.

The recently-published EU strategy will mean the UK will need to produce four times more renewable energy than had been intended.

Ho ******* ho!

The climate alarmists will be overjoyed.

We'll have Britain beaten, pathetic and ruined in no time and all on the back of a sham.

Well done for falling for it you mugs.

It's a totally unrealistic target.
