• 04 Sep 2024: Tweet

  Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions today on the need for an isles tariff for energy prices. We need to see proper mechanisms to reward communities which are supporting the push to Net Zero and to end the disproportionate nature of fuel poverty in our islands. https://twitter.com/amcarmichaelMP/status/1831360072150343814/video/1 [Source]

  Glad to put the potential of tidal stream energy front and centre in questions to the new Net Zero secretary - with an invite for @Ed_Miliband to visit @EMEC_Ltd. We need to set a clear deployment target for tidal stream, and increased ringfenced funding. https://twitter.com/amcarmichaelMP/status/1813923056945189312/video/1 [Source]

  We sometimes talk about a "just transition" for the North Sea economy in the years to come. That has to mean more than just warm words. It will not be much of a just transition if we trade one human rights abuser for another in our energy supplies. [Source]

• 06 Jun 2023: Tweet

  Having raised the need for a refresh of Ofgem’s remit to include Net Zero with ministers a few times in recent weeks I am glad that they have seen sense! There has been clear cross-party consensus in support of this change – it is great news that we have gotten it over the line. https://twitter.com/nathansbennett/status/1666120869041561600 [Source]

  Every farmer and crofter knows that they have to be part of the solution when it comes to climate change. I am concerned that as is so often the case those coming up with the policies see farming as a global monolith rather than as a hugely varied affair even within Scotland. https://twitter.com/Shetnews/status/1412401729828708355 [Source]
