Just what we need – a renewable lobbyist taking over at the Committee on Climate Change:
An energy boss who has backed the need for more electricity pylons is to become the chief executive of the Government’s net zero watchdog.
Emma Pinchbeck, of the trade body Energy UK, will take over as chief executive of the climate change committee (CCC) next month.
The energy chief has argued that massive amounts of new infrastructure will be needed to transport renewable power across the country to meet the Government’s net zero targets.
She has also described the return of onshore wind as “delightful” after Ed Miliband ended the de facto ban in his first days as Energy Secretary.
Several communities in England are engaged in planning battles with the National Grid over new pylons, including more than 100 miles of cables in East Anglia.

Emma Pinchbeck is best known as Deputy Chief Executive at Renewable UK, the lobby group for renewables. Prior to joining RenewableUK, she was head of the Climate Change team at environmental watchdog WWF-UK.
Not much hope of any objective thinking from our Emma then!
