I kinda like his voice and looks but wing power is usually hard to get full power from it so basically on worst day about 10% of 100% power on best 100% power he meant to mean but solar isn't worth spending same amount on it if you use same solar panel in USA you would need less Vs here we would need to spend 50 % more on solar here Vs us
You need to look closer, Miliband has agreed with the energy suppliers to pay an extra 30% higher charge for offshore wind and an extra 200% price for floating offshore wind. These charges are added to the current costs. There is ZERO chance of lower energy prices in the UK ever and Miliband knows that. Meanwhile Labour are leaving hundreds of billions of Pounds in Tax receipts at the bottom of the North Sea, and getting rid of 200,000 North Sea workers jobs.

Really enjoying Ed's post-leadership career. I remember he was asked by Andrew Marr in 2020 if Keir Starmer would make a better leader than him and, without missing a beat, he said "Absolutely; we've seen that already". The lack of ego is something other politicians could learn from. He'll be great as Secretary of State - least of all given he held the role previously - and as this exchange shows.
100% agree with Ed , the more green renewable energy we can use in the UK the better . Invest in new technologies for our children’s future , as we are an island and we know the tidal changes for the next 300 yrs surely we need to invest in this as 12 times the power per foot of turbine blade . We can also store the excess green energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis . The sooner we move away from fossil fuels in green progressive way without compromise the sooner more people will be on board and will embrace green change .
I am a massive supporter for transitioning to clean energy but I was very disappointed that he did not give us all the numbers involved. We should have an aim, as a country, to generate 100% of the electricity we use from green sources and no longer be at the mercy of international gas/oil prices.
Agreed. I would like to see in the future of this parliament some subsidies given to the public for installing solar panels at a discount rate. The tories scrapped a discounted solar panel scheme that would have helped. Ideally though the products need to be cheap to buy and install to tempt people to install them. Also there are plenty of multi story car parks and office/public buildings that could also be used to increase capacity.
@@RoofLight00 I am in West Yorkshire and the Mayor has arranged a bulk discount for a scheme with a reputable solar panel supplier , is around 30% discount. I have a survey scheduled so should hopefully have solar panels installed soon. The Mayors of Liverpool and Manchester are looking to install solar panels on the roof of all suitable public buildings. The public massively support green energy but disengenuous and biased politicians continually say it is too expensive to go that route. The political supporters of green energy need to hire some accountants and show with hard numbers how it is in all of our financial interests to go green and then slap the fossil fuel lobby with those numbers every time they open their mouths.
To be fair to Ed, he did say the government was "forking out 9 billion" which is probably a reference to the fossil fuel subsidy. The thing is, if we build all this infrastructure for wind and solar, do we have sovereignty over our energy supplies. BTW, just comparing notes with a friend, in June, together we spent £90 on electricity. We were paid, £160 for exporting to the grid. We are in Scotland. At the moment, you need us more than we need you.
I very much hate to say it but Tricky has a part of a point. Wind and solar are not the full solution as energy storage is impractical. Fortunately the UK does have a green, predictable and reliable source of power, tidal turbines. What they need is R & D capital as they are not ready for large scale deployment. The "City" will not provide it as they are too risk averse. We need the government to do it.
I remember all the Brexit lies - especially the £13 billion. What is needed to get similar publicity about the fossil fuel subsidy. The only difference is that this publicity will be the truth!
Attacking the likes of Tice is easy, as is the case with all narcissists, he hates being laughed at. Badenoch is another prime example. Bring on the humour!
It is exactly these types of almost single syllable questions which pour forth from the mouths of Reform MPs which appeal to Reform supporters! It is the absolute limit of their attention span and ability to absorb information and factual evidence, in order to mount a supportable argument when debating.
Tories shouldn't have been allowed to sell off our utillities, all those years of profits should've been put into repairing/upgrading infrastructure not shareholders pockets
As a reform voter in the recent election its good to see the Labour actually have a win. I believe in been a clean energy power also as keep energy will attract business to our country again. Hope Labour proves me wrong and puts is in the right direction of been a decent country again. I hope we can all agree they aint starting well tho with everything that's happened.
This is great, and it's all well and good having clips like this from parliament being played on RUclips or national media but most people don't get this kind of analysis of what this actually means. Lots of people will hear Tice saying renewable energy companies get £1bn in subsidies and think, yeah why should we invest in that if they're getting subsidies without knowing that the fossil fuel industry gets subsided too. This stuff should be analysed by every news outlet
All this point scoring in Parliament is all very well, BUT can our Politicos start to point score for us, I don't think they realise how desperate the situation of ordinary people has become and "work for us" .
I agree with you, Miliband had an open goal there, if he'd answered with the oil subsidy point. I hate it when politicians of any description, don't answer the question.
Wind that does'nt blow in the UK?? OK. I hope it does, because I can't remember a UK without wind. 😂 And if it's true. Why on earth did the Tory government did'nt make power stations to store the electricity?
Ofgem setting the price cap to protect the profiteering interests of the licensed companies they regulate?! ...and I wonder how long it will take for the huge increase in government revenues being received over recent years from the massive rise in the the cost of energy to recover the subsidies that have been 'forked out'...being paid for even by those being supplied from 100% renewables?!
It would be nice if, before we decouple from these industries, we fully nationalised them. Two main reasons - claw back all of that wasted money flying off into various fat pockets while the transition takes place AND the country would then own all of the infrastructure and all of the employment contracts for the skilled people that work in those industries. Imagine what we could achieve with such a vast group of skilled engineers and technicians! Imagine how cool it would be for, for once, our nation to be able to phase out a legacy industry without utterly decimating thousands of families by destroying their income. That’s what a responsible government would do.
Unfortunately domestic heating is mostly fueled by gas and most people use far more gas than electricity. The only way to change this is to move people over to electrically powered heating, and this will only happen by subsidising heat pumps and/or bringing in a cheaper tarrif on electricity used for heating.
The problem is that you cant just fit a heat pump into an existing heating system, as they operate on lower water temperatures than these systems were designed for. So its a whole new heating system that's required. They are also a non starter on our older, less well insulated buildings. I agree that electrically powered heating (from renewables) with lower tariffs is what is needed.
@@markwilkie3677 I think the general point is the government, or some ingenious entrepreneur, needs to make the transition to renewables affordable for people. Otherwise they'll stick with their gas boilers until forced to do Otherwise.
Ed is a good minister, that said I don't forgive his ambition to be leader setting off a chain of events that resulted in a long term Tory Government, Brexit and even possibly Trump! (It might sound far fetched but one thing led to another...)
We mustn't forget that electricity from renewables is priced (to the consumer) based on the price of electricity generated from gas - it has been pointed out that because Scotland has invested in a lot of renewables they could drop the price of electricity to all their consumers - but they are not allowed to - and they only have a limited gateway to provide their excess to the rest of the UK - so the turbines have to be switched off quite often as they are producing too much electricity. It actually costs more money to stop and start turbines than to just let them run.
If wind and solar are the cheapest why are the UK's and my electricity prices at unaffordable and record high's. If wind and solar are the cheapest forms of generation why do they need taxpayer subsidies? How cheap are they when they are not producing due to no wind or sun? When they are not producing where do we get the replacement power from and is the cost of that factored into the cost of wind and solar? Labour robbed the pensioners winter fuel allowance to fund the Net Zero religion. The cost of Ed Miliband and Labours "Crusade for Net Zero" is unaffordable for working people and pensioners.
Because energy is in the hands of huge cartels who answer to no-one. Energy pricing has very little to do with the cost of production. It’s more like market speculation. I think all politicians need to be honest with the electorate about this 🫤
Have you heard of batteries? They are magical things that cab store energy when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing until it is needed. We use them all the time in my house and recharge them when the sun is out.
@@vetinaris1297 firstly, what does “cab store energy mean”? Secondly the things that you call batteries need to be replaced and there isn’t enough energy storage available to supply the UK. The grid is years behind. I’ll also give you an interesting fact. If company A applies for the construction of a solar / wind farm along with connection to the grid by a certain date and the connection isn’t made, then the grid pays compensation to company A. Which is quite frequent because, as I have said, the grid is years behind. Also this doesn’t factor into account the gas supply for households. I believe we should move away from fossil fuels but it will take much longer than anticipated. Even if the grid could keep up by building nuclear plants it’s still way off.
Must admit I was under the the impression renewables would also be tied to the price of fossil fuels, so its better for the environment but all costs the same, apart from any new infrastructure to obtain the renewables. Hopefully Miliband is right.
Renewables are still currently tied to the price of fossil fuels at the moment which will be part of why energy companies are making so much profit, cheaply made renewable energy charged at the price of gas. Cha Ching.
@@swanchamp5136 Begs the question why I don't remember the last time I heard anyone talk about decoupling them before the talk of GB energy and I watch a lot of politics, too much.
Intermittent renewables prevent us from reaching net zero and make us dependent on gas to fill in the huge gaps. As well as not being technically feasible at scale, they are also terribly expensive at scale when system costs are included. Just because Richard Tice says something doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not true!
Tice made it really easy for Miliband. By coming up with some utterly ridiculously faulty figures, he made himself look stupid & gave Miliband an easy opportunity to give a straight answer.
The Scottish government pays billions to the wind turbine operator to shut them down when demand is low. Why isn't this extra capacity being used to produce hydrogen for industrial and transport needs? They get subsidies when they make profits, the get subsidies when they make losses. The whole system is ridiculous.
It would be far more efficient to use the energy to pump water back on the hydro-electric schemes Hydrogen production is a white elephant and projected 2030 targets for the EU have been reduced by two thirds. It's main use is probably in steel or smelting, but the costs are very high in transport use and will require even more expensive infrastructure.
Also check out which lobby groups are pushing hydrogen -- the fossil fuel companies - who are after even more subsidies. You can't just pump hydrogen down existing pipelines, you have to store the stuff at high pressure, hydrogen is a very sneaky chemical and it can make storage containers brittle.
Energy is reserved to the Westminster parliament, I have searched to check what you have said about Scottish government subsidies for operators to shut down electrical operations and can't find any, could you point me to your source.

Labour needs to get electricity prices down by the next election
they won't
Must admit I was under the the impression renewables would also be tied to the price of fossil fuels, so its better for the environment but all costs the same, apart from any new infrastructure to obtain the renewables. Hopefully Miliband is right.
Renewables are still currently tied to the price of fossil fuels at the moment which will be part of why energy companies are making so much profit, cheaply made renewable energy charged at the price of gas. Cha Ching.
@@swanchamp5136 Begs the question why I don't remember the last time I heard anyone talk about decoupling them before the talk of GB energy and I watch a lot of politics, too much.
Intermittent renewables prevent us from reaching net zero and make us dependent on gas to fill in the huge gaps. As well as not being technically feasible at scale, they are also terribly expensive at scale when system costs are included. Just because Richard Tice says something doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not true!
Tice made it really easy for Miliband. By coming up with some utterly ridiculously faulty figures, he made himself look stupid & gave Miliband an easy opportunity to give a straight answer.
The Scottish government pays billions to the wind turbine operator to shut them down when demand is low. Why isn't this extra capacity being used to produce hydrogen for industrial and transport needs? They get subsidies when they make profits, the get subsidies when they make losses. The whole system is ridiculous.
It would be far more efficient to use the energy to pump water back on the hydro-electric schemes Hydrogen production is a white elephant and projected 2030 targets for the EU have been reduced by two thirds. It's main use is probably in steel or smelting, but the costs are very high in transport use and will require even more expensive infrastructure.
Also check out which lobby groups are pushing hydrogen -- the fossil fuel companies - who are after even more subsidies. You can't just pump hydrogen down existing pipelines, you have to store the stuff at high pressure, hydrogen is a very sneaky chemical and it can make storage containers brittle.
Energy is reserved to the Westminster parliament, I have searched to check what you have said about Scottish government subsidies for operators to shut down electrical operations and can't find any, could you point me to your source.
