The bat police, the EA’s pension pot problem, and Miliband’s solar ‘error’

Eco Chamber

Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories, and take a forensic look at one of the deep-rooted environmental issues facing us today.

For this week’s big green news, the team finds unravels:

• How the pension fund used by wildlife regulators Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales holds bonds worth millions in the water companies they are tasked with regulating.
• Ed Miliband’s push for big solar, which could be about to give him political sun burn.
• And the news-in-brief, we find out about Natural England's budget drop, the millions agreed in recent enforcement undertakings and find out more about the UK’s biggest emitter of CO2 -- Drax.

For our first fast ever rapid fire factcheck, we take a look at the wildlife protections afforded to the world’s only flying mammal and work out if the so-called bat police are becoming too over zealous in their work.
