It depends on what the meaning of "fully committed" is

Under pressure from the business community, including I imagine the oil and nuclear industries, the Prime Minister is being urged to back away from the government's existing commitment to meeting 20% of the countries energy needs from renewable sources by 2020. Despite the leaked change of plan the government continues to assert that they are "fully committed to renewables. Should we move away from this less than ambitious objective it would truly be a shame and counter to the country's best interests in light of both global warming and the approach (or arrival) of peak oil. Britain is extremely well placed to take advantage of both wind and tidal power. I guess there just enough really big money in it to interest the community of bloated and amoral capitalists.
