      1. Businesses have no reassurance about security of long-term returns on investments made today - could jeopardise investment in offshore wind

          1. Return to nuclear
            1. No commitment to cutting energy consumption
              1. UK expecting a two thirds rise in demand (Germany - Europe's manufacturing heartland - projecting a decline of one quarter)
