The ten must-read comment pieces from this morning's papers.

1. On fracking and wind we are having the wrong debates (Guardian)

Discussion of climate change and the wider public interest has been jettisoned in the rush to lobby against alternatives, says Zoe Williams.

2. The heat is on. We need decisions on energy (Times) (£)

Britain must urgently replace its generating capacity, says John Cridland. But ministers are sitting on their hands.

3. The right-wing agitators out to get David Cameron (Daily Telegraph)

The Prime Minister is besieged by Conservative critics oblivious to the man on the street, says Peter Oborne.

4. It's no accident that the wheels have come off the government (Independent)

Steve Richards says that the problem is not that Cameron does too little but that his government does too much.

5. Argentina’s oil raid can only end badly (Financial Times)

John Gapper says that the seizure is extreme, badly timed and unlikely to address the country’s key complaint.

6. Does tax make us slaves or good citizens? (Times) (£)

Many want the freedom to spend more of their own money, says David Aaronovitch. But they still want the police if they are robbed.

7. Cheer for François Hollande in France. But he won't change Europe (Guardian)

If the Socialists win in France it will create a new pole of influence. But their options will be severely limited, says Martin Kettle.

8. France must set aside the spirit of Asterix (Financial Times)

Sovereigntist obsessions have resurfaced in the presidential race, writes Sylvie Goulard.

9. UK officials must come clean about rendition (Independent)

Abdel Hakim Belhaj's lawsuit could mean that light is finally cast on this still-murky subject, says this leading article.

10. Justice Delayed (Times) (£)

The European Court of Human Rights is too often a brake on justice. This leading article argues that it needs urgent reform if Britain is to respect it.
