Nobody mentions the elephant in the room, we don't have the storage capacity needed and we've paid multi millions to wind farms to TRURN THEM OFF.......
Milliband answered Richard Tices concerns about nett zero by saying it will provide energy security. About two hours later it was reported that the new massive renewable energy contracts were being granted to foreign owned companies. Please make it make sense....
They were not all granted, labours approach to this is we still need oil and gas but as renewables come more on side we can start slowing on oil and gas. That’s always been there approach. Also nuclear . Most of all that oil and gas is sold on the open market which means we will be paying the same price all the time and held to ransom . Renewables will give us more independence and not reliant on Russia and other regimes. By the way Tice and Reform were given £500K donation by oil and gas so it’s in there interests and not public to fight there corner.
Like water companies, others may own it and lose everything when they go broke like Thames Water, but they cannot take the stuff away! So in this case ownership is irrelevant. The supply is secure, in our lands and water. Getting stuff built and done seems beyond UK business, or overpriced as usual.
Don,t forget those extra coal mines in China to make the steel. Those coal mines in Germany to generate energy. UK not the major turbine player in Europe. And have no plan for replacing them after 25yrs. As soon as anyone says Net Zero you know there is sparse knowledge of the complexities involved globally. The term is meaningless.
No one talks about the environmental impact of large scale Lithium and Copper mining. Neither does anyone talk about the dangers of big Lithium-Ion batteries going 'BANG'
Absolutely. Never mind the ore grades are diminishing and the mining contacts not even in the frame. We have no copper mines in UK remember! Ignorance is profound and everywhere. Btw, Julia H-B could do with some homework on mines, minerals and energy. … No proper discussion on nuclear. We will have blackouts / brownouts before we wake up that we only have one globe and will have to be more frugal on energy use. Just look at global energy demand. Needs a much bigger discussion. It won,t be on this channel.
Just like no one talks any more about laptop batteries catching fire. All the same things, and in your mobile. Battery chemistry is moving forward though unlike anything old combustion can. Yes mining anything is always somewhat polluting, including all oil! Sodium is being used instead of Lithium already and may grow if it can compete on capacity and price. New stuff is always being researched too.

Good God man, educate yourself. Wikipedia tells us; The theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in Earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by Andreas Libavius "in his 1597 Alchemia [Alchymia]" The first use of the term "fossil fuel" occurs in the work of the German chemist Caspar Neumann, in English translation in 1759.[22] The Oxford English Dictionary notes that in the phrase "fossil fuel" the adjective "fossil" means "[o]btained by digging; found buried in the earth", which dates to at least 1652,[23] before the English noun "fossil" came to refer primarily to long-dead organisms in the early 18th century.[24]

@@Wee_Langside Net Zero is completely impossible. And when China says " We are having Taiwan back ". Don't say you weren't told of the impending disaster...
Wind turbines and solar panels can, under the right conditions, produce lots of electricity. However, there's no current affordable way to store it. 20 SMR's dotted around the country would produce as much constant electricity as we currently need.
The drive to invest in power from our rivers is to utilise the downward march of our water to the sea and generate power on its way so the country can have power as it provides. Power when the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine, as it wears, as rivers constantly flow to the sea, and water power, or Hydropower, we call it.
I've worked in the energy sector in all areas for more than 20yrs, and Net Zero is a dream and will not happen, as for 2030 it's impossible. We don't have the storage capability required we are not in a position technologically to be able to store what is required and won't be until long after 2030. We will need other sources of energy for decades especially in the UK where our weather is so unpredictable, For us to even attempt Net Zero with our climate is ridiculous, I get countries like KSA, UAE, South Africa etc looking to achieve it because it is possible with their climates, the UAE and KSA will be at approx 50% by 2030 and is growing rapidly and it hasn't taken 20+ years to get there, unlike us who won't be at 50% by 2030. We will destroy not only our economy but our way of life, in some parts of the US including California they have experienced rolling blackouts and that will be us if we continue this way.
Well well here we go down another path of insanity. Its like that old song Who turned the lights out. Not one green zealot will admit this when the smelly hits the fan. Mr Millibund you are been watched so get it right. This affects millions of us.
One thing only I disagree with is , eu as not replaced Russia gas 😮they are paying more for it , lng gas into the eu is as high as anytime, bringing it in through turkstream and India , guess what it’s still Russian gas with a different label on it 🙄
we all pay a green Levey on our energy bills , when too much power is produced the goverment pays to have the green producers turn it off, also when no power is produced the govement pays the green energy company's, so how come green energy is not very cheap?
Surely, saying 'Ed Miliband is speaking nonsense' is on a part with saying 'It goes dark at night.' Both statements are self-evident, and universally accepted.
Follow the money... Miliband's Register of Members interests makes interesting reading. £233,600 a year from a green campaigner. £99,000 from Green Finance Institute Ltd (wonder if they finance wind farms perhaps). I know what I think.
Interesting, what would be the cry from the environmental lobby be if a tory energy minister was on the board of BP and suddenly announced a dozen new drilling licences in the North Sea?
Renewables are not “green” are at least as expensive and are far less reliable. Basically the fact of renewables is that they all need to be backed up by reliable base load generation, which is nuclear or carbon based fuels. Essentially you pay twice for the same output.
Miliband understands nothing about the laws of thermodynamics. If you want real energy density, which creates economic growth, go oil and Nuclear. Nothing else comes close ( except perhaos Dark energy, but this is 100s of years away )
We all want cleaner air but no one ever costed it all out, no one said if we go for net zero we can't make unreliable wind & solar our main source of energy or is it even worth it while bigger countries than us are still building coal fired power stations. No one said eventually all these turbines & solar panels will go to landfill. I live in Lincolnshire rather than bury the cables underground they want to erect 420 pylons across the county ( because its cheaper ). Its one big expensive mess.
Here we go again, handing over the ownership of these wind farm to a private investor who will just milk it for the share holders. The only way is to build and own any new energy platform ourselved
I wouldn't employ Ed Miliband to clean my windows. Little old Britain saving the planet!!! Most of the rest of the World couldn't give a toss. Why are we even bothering?
As we speak the uk grid is been supplied 42.1% fossil fuel, 21.9% renewables and 24.6% nuclear and biomass. That’s 1400 Wednesday afternoon. Low demand.
I hate that word "Biomass". Why can't they just be honest and say they are chopping down millions of trees and burning them! And no, I am not one of those eco-greeny hippies, just someone who is pissed off seeing swathes of forest across North America and parts of Europe being used for firewood. So much for "Green" energy!!

Pay foreign suppliers to supply them. Pay the installers a fixed amount per wand whether they’re required or off load. When they manufacture these wands abroad does the supply chain only use “ green energy” to make them and the components needed. The only good thing we can be sanctimonious about it is not us contributing to global warming, even though we indirectly contribute. IDIOCY
Won't last. This system has grander plans. Magnificent plans that will last for the next one thousand years. I'll tell you. PS The States is not a Democracy but a Republic; I felt hungry.
The photo shown of the solar farm does not include the battery storage system required by such a system. Our community recently installed a small solar farm in my neighbourhood, and when we were given a tour of the facility it was explained that a system like this can not just have solar panels pumping directly into the grid, it needs a buffer like a battery system. The battery system on a solar farm is worth 10 times more than the panels and their wiring. Storage and distribution is more important than the production of electricity in farms like this. This would also be true for wind farms and tidal systems. Of course solar farms help, but the cost is really not economical at this time.
Agree with you good comment but knowone talks about the harm to the environment. Wind turbines kill birds off shore destroys the sea bed, grass don't grow under solar panels and I do worry having large battery storage we do have thunder n lighting.
Just look at the man. Never trust anyone who would stab his own brother in the back. As the adverts say" we are working hard to bring you clean energy" They left out "and stiff you for it" WEll done Ed
No one is talking about the massive extra electricity for transport,petrol and diesel, heating removal of gas , hot water ditto, industry, property improvements ,We will need 4 times our existing capacity. 400 Gigawatts from 100. Where is all this coming from when the wind stops . When we get nothing from wind for 12 to 24 hours. What will we do? Batteries will cost £30 trillion so not a chance, only increased gas power and nuclear will do . NOT A CHANCE.
The retail price of energy by KwH is exactly the same whether it be added to the grids by Gas, coal, wind farm or solar. There is a regulated price set. So much for cleaner greener energy.
I wish she would let the 'experts' she has on her show SPEAK, instead of interrupting, or taking most of the time allocated for herself. In order to learn about these important issues is to HEAR THE EXPERTS TALK. . . !! For goodness sake. . . Do us all a favour PLEASE. . .
The phrase "fossil fuels" evokes emotional response, but what should be addressed is the way we collect energy from it, and the byproduct released. Isn't there technology out there that can do something to alleviate that? Then, we wouldn't have an issue. Think outside the box people!

The bit that Ed doesn't understand is that without oil, these wind turbines would not be able to be made or be able to run/work.

Just look at the man. Never trust anyone who would stab his own brother in the back. As the adverts say" we are working hard to bring you clean energy" They left out "and stiff you for it" WEll done Ed
No one is talking about the massive extra electricity for transport,petrol and diesel, heating removal of gas , hot water ditto, industry, property improvements ,We will need 4 times our existing capacity. 400 Gigawatts from 100. Where is all this coming from when the wind stops . When we get nothing from wind for 12 to 24 hours. What will we do? Batteries will cost £30 trillion so not a chance, only increased gas power and nuclear will do . NOT A CHANCE.
I'd suggest Mr Milliband watch Climate The Movie, but I'm sure he and his colleagues are well aware of the damage they're doing,
It ain't clean Ed!
he has an eyes of psychopath….he needs to be locked up
The retail price of energy by KwH is exactly the same whether it be added to the grids by Gas, coal, wind farm or solar. There is a regulated price set. So much for cleaner greener energy.
Show me a politician and I will show you a liar and a thief
This lady is fantastic. Talks out facts and will not be bullied by muppets
Let your guest speak Julia, much as I am impressed with your subject knowledge!
I wish she would let the 'experts' she has on her show SPEAK, instead of interrupting, or taking most of the time allocated for herself. In order to learn about these important issues is to HEAR THE EXPERTS TALK. . . !! For goodness sake. . . Do us all a favour PLEASE. . .
Agree, I keep tuning into these vidz cos I do like her, but, she does not let her expert guests say very much at all.
What milaband knows about climate change you could write on the back of a postage stamp
£1.5billion in subsidies in order to lie that this is the cheapest energy ever lol. Can't make this up.
Julia - can you let your guests get more than a handful of words in edgeways? Thanks - and nice to hear your opinions on this, which I agree with 100%
The phrase "fossil fuels" evokes emotional response, but what should be addressed is the way we collect energy from it, and the byproduct released. Isn't there technology out there that can do something to alleviate that? Then, we wouldn't have an issue.
Think outside the box people!
Julia, how about getting Milliband on your show and debate him.
I completely agree with everything you say Julia
God imagine millipede walking around naked
Yuk.
That's an image now burnt into my brain😵💫
