British prime minister hails clean energy on Indian trade mission

British Prime Minister David Cameron has again underlined his support for green technologies during a major trip to India where he is attempting to drum up business for the UK.

Cameron on Tuesday arrived in India with a group of more than 100 businesses leaders, including a number of green companies and Climate Change Minister Greg Barker.

At his first stop, the Unilever office, in Mumbai, Cameron touted the benefits of clean energy as a key to UK economic growth.

Asked during a question and answer session if he thought governments were doing enough to boost the green economy, Cameron said green technologies such as wind turbines should be promoted in the face of opposition.

“All over the world governments are not doing enough,” he said. “We are not on track to deal with climate change and make sure our policies are sustainable.”
