 London (AFP) Jul 12, 2006
 David Cameron, the fresh-faced leader of Britain's main opposition Conservatives, was given the go-ahead Tuesday to install a wind turbine and solar panels on his plush London house. The environmentally-conscious 39-year-old got the green light from Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council's Planning Services Committee during a public meeting, despite local opposition.

Cameron was not present but was said to "delighted" with the decision, which means work to erect the two-metre tall turbine can begin.

Elected in December, Cameron has tried hard to make a clean break with the Conservatives' past and cultivate an eco-friendly image. He hopes to overturn the Labour Party's grip on power, nearly a decade since Prime Minister Tony Blair was first elected to office.

Cameron bicycles to parliament from his North Kensington home -- with his smart shoes and paperwork following him in an official car, albeit a low-emissions one.

Alex Michaelis, an architect working on the plans, told the council meeting that the green technology would provide more than 30 percent of the Cameron household's energy requirements.
