All UK homes could be powered by off-shore windfarms by 2020, according to an exclusive in one of the Sunday papers.
The Independent on Sunday says Britain is about to undergo a wind-power revolution after what it calls an 'astonishing' u-turn by the government.
It says the Business Secretary, John Hutton, will announce on Monday, 10 December, the biggest-ever renewable energy initiative: off-shore wind farms, reports the paper, could provide all UK homes with electricity within 13 years.
Only weeks ago, according to the paper, Mr Hutton was resisting a major expansion of renewable resources, arguing that it would interfere with plans to build new nuclear power stations.
Pay anger
The Sunday Times reports that thousands of service personnel are being underpaid because of failures in a new computerised pay system.

At issue is the government's decision not to back-date their 2.5% pay rise to 1 September 2007.
The Mail says it has evidence that some police men and women will refuse to work on their days off and call in sick
