The BBC's Science and Environment correspondent Matt McGrath has today written an article making the rather odd claim that renewables are to blame for a rise in German coal consumption for power generation.

Leeds Solar would like to offer 5 key points as a rebuttal to this claim

Leeds Solar are proud to announce the formal launch of our specialist energy consultancy company, Bright Future Energy Ltd, in partnership with Professor Gordon E Andrews, and Professor Bernard M Gibbs from the Leeds University Energy Research Institute.

Bright Future Energy Ltd formalises an informal consultancy arrangement that Leeds Solar has operated with Professor Andrews & Gibbs as well as other members and students of the  Energy Research Institute for the last couple of years.

The consultancy aims to cover a range of areas within the energy field, giving industry and the public sector access to the expertise our 2 lead Professorial Consultants have built up over their 90-100 year combined high level energy research, industry and teaching experience.
