The government's action on both the climate crisis and the recessionwas seriously flawed, he said - wasting time on dreams of new nuclear powerstations, which would create far too few jobs far too late to help tackle therecession, while also being too late to make the necessary difference inemissions-reduction. Massive investment in the full range of policies forgreening the economy would deliver far more jobs much faster, he said.

Mr Ramsay also stressed the party's determination to keeppushing a radical and ethical agenda on banking and public services. His declarationof the Green Party's support for the CWU campaign to keep the Royal Mail inpublic hands was greeted with loud applause.
