UK Secretary of Industry Alistair Darling has come under fire for his plans to ensure Britain's energy future as North Sea oil and gas supplies dwindle.

He also wants to see more renewable energy sources but points out that 170 applications for renewable energy projects have been delayed due to public objections.
