The Secretary of Energy, Ed Miliband, said that the Government will “double” the environmental agenda of ONS and accused the opponents of the move to Net Zero or “inventing nonsense and lies.”
Political opponents in conservatives and the reform of the United Kingdom, and some unions, have argued that their agenda is putting jobs in traditional industries and has urged a change of course.
The United Kingdom is legally committed to moving to net carbon emissions by 2050, an objective established under a previous conservative government.
Writing in the observer, Miliband warned that a zero anti -net agenda would not only risk the “climate breakdown” but “would lose the clean energy of the future.”
A green energy transition will help ensure social justice and national security, Miliband argued.
He said that the unit of the United Kingdom in fossil fuels meant that “the markets entered collapse and prices shot up” after Russia fought their large -scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
“The cost of living impacts caused at that time still stalk families today,” he said.
“Therefore, the argument of the transition of clean energy is not only the traditional climate case, but also the case of social justice: it is the working people who pay the highest price for our energy insecurity.”
In his opponents, he said that there are “voices of siren who want to knock us out of the course” and added “will also invent any nonsense and lies to pursue their ideological agenda.”
Although his party was committed to zero net while he was in the government, the current conservative leader KEMI Badenoch has said that it cannot be achieved without the country’s bankruptcy.
The reform leader of the United Kingdom, Nigel Farage, who has criticized what he calls “net madness,” he told The Sun on Sunday that politics could become “the next Brexit, where Parliament is so desperately out of contact with the country.”
Miliband has been worried that its green policies are blamed for the difficulties well advertised in British Steel.
The Government approved an emergency law to take control of British steel amid accusations that its Chinese owner Jingye planned to turn off the furnaces.
Beijing accused the government of “commercial politicization cooperation” and said that this situation had raised doubts about Chinese investment in the United Kingdom.
Parts of the labor movement, including unions such as GMB and UNITE, have warned of risks to thousands of well -paid works in the oil and gas sector.
But Miliband has tried to reassure them by declaring that the generation of green energy will provide the good unionized jobs of the future.
