How will the coalition keep the lights on?
A conundrum facing our new government is how to ensure the computer you are using right now has a secure power source for many years to come.
Politicians from all sides support the move to cleaner, greener renewable electricity and there is little difference between the coalition partners on the need to rely less on traditional fossil fuels - with the possible exception of the debate surrounding the expansion of nuclear power.
However, we are told that East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire's contribution to our carbon-free energy needs is blowing in the wind.
Plans have been unveiled for a £400 million marine energy park and quay on the south bank of the Humber, where turbines would be designed, constructed and shipped to a new generation of offshore wind farms in the North Sea. The site near Immingham could be responsible for up to 27,000 new jobs.
A key question being asked by council leaders and business chiefs is how much financial support the new Humber development will receive from Whitehall? Some firms had been eyeing up a £60 million fund to upgrade port facilities on the east coast, but that money is by no means guaranteed as ministers look to slash departmental budgets by at least a quarter.
The offshore wind industry is warning that we could end up importing turbines and other equipment from abroad, unless the government comes up with a new energy policy that includes supporting British manufacturers.
Many claim that allowing other countries to take advantage of our green energy revolution would take the wind out of our sails.
