Tony Blair warns Europe risks falling behind without major overhaul - 5 reforms needed
Sir Tony Blair has warned that Europe risks "falling behind" on energy because the continent has treated it as a "climate issue".
His think tank told how power prices are up to three times higher than other nations, with 60% of its energy being dependent on imports...
The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) described how Europe must shift from a "climate-first, climate only" approach to energy if it wants to stay on par with the United States and China.
The paper argues that India, China and the US, which together make up more than half of global emissions, have prioritised supply.
It said clean power in those nations is being deployed in systems "designed first and foremost to deliver reliable and low cost power."
Nothing we wouldn't expect from Tony Blair, but it takes a gargantuan level of self-regarding chutzpah to pretend that this problem has recently been uncovered by the Right People.
It shows what voters are up again when charlatans like Blair strut their stuff on the international stage, especially voters who pay attention to the real world. They are not the majority and Blair knows it.
Yet if he thinks the time is finally right for this ridiculously late political 'discovery', then it perhaps it is. We've seen a few clues already.

The Tony Blair institute for the enrichment of Tony Blair.
Everything that comes out of that b'stard is paid for by someone with an agenda, and it is never for our benefit.
Blair and Starmer, first on the list!
Leaping from a slowing gravy train to a faster one.
Mike - I agree, whatever Blair does it is never for our benefit. It's depressing to look back on all the charlatans we've had to endure.
DJ - yes that's it, Blair switching the points to a new track does suggest the old gravy train may be about to hit the buffers.
Can't put it better than ... "it takes a gargantuan level of self-regarding chutzpah to pretend that this problem has recently been uncovered by the Right People".
