Standing up to the big vested interests, the rich and powerful, so we can help the people of Britain in their moment of need. - Ed Miliband, Shadow Secretary of State for Climate Change
Ed Miliband, the Shadow Secretary of State for Climate Change and Net Zero, made a strong case for environmental investment. To quote:
“… doubling onshore wind, trebling solar power, quadrupling offshore wind, tidal power, nuclear, hydrogen power and all underpinned by the best investment we can make – £60 billion over a decade to insulate 19 million cold, draughty homes, saving £1000 off bills, cutting carbon emissions, and led by our brilliant Labour local authorities.”
