Ed Miliband says pushing for renewable energy and lower emissions will reduce household bills and boost economy
The UK government will go “all in” on clean energy and climate policy, the energy secretary has said, as he unveiled plans to put the UK back on track to reach its net zero commitments.
In the face of intensifying attacks on climate policy from the poll-leading Reform party, and the Conservatives, the government insists that pushing for renewable energy and lower carbon emissions will reduce household bills and boost the UK’s economy.
Ed Miliband, the secretary of state for energy security and net zero, told the Guardian: “This Labour government is all in on action to tackle the climate crisis because it is the way to secure better lives for people in Britain today and protect future generations tomorrow.
“This plan sets out the ambitious actions we have taken in our first 15 months – unleashing investment, creating jobs, rebuilding our energy security. Meanwhile, our political opponents have embarked down an anti-jobs, anti-science path that would spell disaster for our economy, our security and our planet.
