David Cameron and Wind Turbines

In a Nov/Dec 2006 issue of the magazine "Green Futures," David Cameron expressed enthusiastic support for decentralised energy:

"We need local generation, with people selling energy back to the grid, and a massive increase in combined heat and power ... the technology is there, the materials are there, prices are coming down ... this really is a whole new exciting world! ... I want every opportunity for green sources of energy to come through."
It's a stark contrast to the delays and bureaucracy referred to in the Coventry Telegraph on Monday.

Which are the real Conservatives ... the ones who have the luxury of rhetoric due to being in Opposition at Westminster ... or the ones in control in local councils who keep barriers in the way of decentralised energy?
