Which minister will be most responsible for the fate of Sir Keir Starmer’s government?
There is among his Cabinet a zealot who more than any other minister will make or break the Government. I speak of the former leader Ed Miliband.
Moving to a low-carbon future is no longer a matter of debate since all parties are committed to it. What is at issue is the speed of the transition and whether it is proportionate to the problem.
Even if we account for just 2 per cent of the world’s output today, Mr Miliband believes we should be in the vanguard of fossil fuel reduction to atone for all the CO2 pumped out since the Industrial Revolution.
The closure over the next three years of nuclear power stations still in service, delays in building new ones and rising demands for electricity will leave the UK facing a crunch point in about 2028. The chances that wind, solar and other renewables can fill the gap by then are for the birds. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/…/miliband-poised-to-wreck…/
