the minister's bedside book

The Energy and Climate Change minister Ed Miliband was live-blogging at the Guardian this morning. One questioner asked about David Mackay's new book Sustainable Energy - Without The Hot Air. Miliband replied:

'MacKay's a smart guy. His book is by my bedside and my permanent secretary keeps telling me I have to finish it!'

Keep reading, Ed.

(My article about MacKay's book says: 'It's geek heaven: full of killer stats that you immediately want to pass on'.)
