"The international body that advises most major governments across the world on energy policy is obstructing a global switch to renewable power because of its ties to the oil, gas and nuclear sectors..."
"The experts, from the Energy Watch group, say the International Energy Agency (IEA) publishes misleading data on renewables, and that it has consistently underestimated the amount of electricity generated by wind power in its advice to governments."

Nah, those 'independent experts' have their own axe to grind - namely that they weren't qualified enough to get a job at the IEA.

Not surprising. Everyone start piling up the twigs. If we don't develop new energy resources soon, we'll be rubbing them together for fire.

Well it's always better to have a lot of different source of power. Like that is one fails (or become extinct) you always have another.

Don't ever fail to question the motives of the messenger, and always get a second and third source of accounting!
