So here in the east we have an great deal to lose if climate change continues unchecked. But we also have much to gain from the switch to a low carbon economy. The 'environment economy' in the East of England already supports 180,000 people. From Cambridge's hi tech sector leading the way in producing innovative new technologies to the shallow waters and high winds of one of Britain's first major offshore wind farms at Scroby Sands, the East of England is perfectly placed to capitalise on the renewable energy boom. 2007-07-02T11:53+01:00 http://www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/articles/000011/is_postkyoto_now_a_framework_for_global_progress.html Finally, it seems, the inconvenient truth is out.

And now nuclear power is firmly back on the government agenda with Tony Blair pre-empting his own Energy Review to give the go-ahead for a new generation of nuclear power stations. I'm not persuaded. 2006-07-04T18:02+01:00 http://www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/articles/000007/why_noones_scared_of_the_lib_dems.html Life in the Liberal Democrats is now returning to normal after the excitement of the Bromley byelection - which means being ignored again. 2006-07-04T18:01+01:00 http://www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/articles/000006/mixed_messages.html While the Tories believe that associating themselves with Tony Blair makes them look better, they have also adopted the unusual tactic of opposing the government from two incompatible directions, writes David Howarth 2006-06-07T01:00+01:00 http://www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/articles/000009/email_to_hearfromyourmpcom.html Thank you to everyone who's signed up to this email service in Cambridge 2006-03-06T00:00+00:00 http://www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/articles/000005/who_wants_the_abolition_of_parliament_bill.html Last week all eyes were on the House of Commons as it debated identity cards, smoking and terrorism. The media reported both what MPs said and how they voted. For one week at least, the Commons matters. 2006-02-21T00:00+00:00 http://www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/articles/000004/freedom_fairness_trust.html Liberal Democrats believe that freedom is a basic human right. Everybody should be able to make independent choices about how they live their life, provided those choices don't harm anyone else. Everybody should have the opportunity to make the most of their life in a diverse society that values individuals and their differences. 2005-01-05T18:10+00:00 http://www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/articles/000001/cambridge_huntingdon_rapid_transit__the_misguided_bus.html What is the history? 2004-09-01T00:00+01:00 http://www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/articles/000002/2004_city_council_election_manifesto.html In May 2000 the people of Cambridge elected a Liberal Democrat Council for the first time.
