  Michael, your own document from today totally disproves this. Your cost for a fully run gas power plant without a Carbon Tax (that has doubled under your watch) is significantly cheaper than your cost for an offshore wind plant. You published this today. Did you read it? Did @Ed_Miliband? The truth is you don’t care about cost, just about your self-imposed Clean Power targets. [Source]

  Germany recently announced plans to build more gas plants to avoid supply shortages. It’s time to get real. In these difficult geopolitical times we cannot let Net Zero ideology override our energy security. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2010625473647366389/photo/1 [Source]

  This problem is even worse because our Net Zero targets call for a surge in electric cars and electric heating - and AI will also spike demand by up to 16 GW in total. We are ADDING roughly a third to peak demand while LOSING up to a third of our firm power supply. [Source]

  The legal targets in the Climate Change Act 2008 force us to undertake two gargantuan tasks at once: 1) Decarbonise electricity: swap coal and gas power stations for wind & solar farms. 2) Electrify everything else: swap petrol cars and gas boilers for electric cars & heating. [Source]

  Ed Miliband and Net Zero are putting us at a greater risk of blackouts than at any time since the 1970s. Today I'm launching @KathrynPorter26's report on why we need to get serious about our energy security. ????THREAD???????? https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2010625433688301824/photo/1 [Source]

  Tomorrow, energy bills will rise YET AGAIN because of Labour - despite gas prices falling. But that’s not enough for Ed Miliband. He’s now planning a new tax on heating your home to pay for his rush to Net Zero. Happy New Year… https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2006313820525056026/photo/1 [Source]

  For years the public have been told that Net Zero means cheaper energy. This week an official report from Britain’s grid operator showed the truth – rushing to net zero is forecast to make our energy system £350 billion more expensive than going slower. That’s equivalent to 0.4% of GDP every single year from now to 2050. When the costs are annualised, that means higher energy costs every single year to 2050. Britain simply cannot afford to spend the next 25 years with uncompetitive el [Source]

  Official report says rushing to Net Zero is £350 billion MORE expensive than going slower. Britain simply can't afford the cost of Ed Miliband. If we want the benefits of growth from AI we need to drop Labour's mad Net Zero targets and focus on making electricity cheap. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1999128648146616817/video/1 [Source]

  ????This is a bombshell moment. A must-read report from the grid operator forecasts rushing to Net Zero as Ed Miliband is doing makes our energy system £350 billion more expensive than going slower. That’s equivalent to 0.4% of GDP every single year from now to 2050 or £500 per household. Britain cannot afford to spend the next 25 years having uncompetitive electricity prices. We would continue to deindustrialise, miss out on the economic growth of AI, and see living standards suffer. [Source]

  The FT backs my Cheap Power Plan proposal to Axe the Carbon Tax and cut bills instantly???? Labour’s Budget bills cut is totally bogus. Shifting costs off bills and into taxation still leaves working people paying too much. We need to reduce costs in the system permanently. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1995828444639146066/photo/1 [Source]

  This is exactly right. Nature is not net zero. https://twitter.com/zacgoldsmith/status/1995253237684023357 [Source]

  Ed Miliband preaches about climate change, but his policies are setting a warning not an example to the rest of the world. Higher electricity bills, losing jobs, missing out on AI - sacrificing growth is no way to inspire others to follow your lead. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1993379393301860808/video/1 [Source]

  Ed Miliband promised to cut bills by £300. But despite gas prices falling, it's the extra costs of Ed's net zero plans that keep raising bills. Experts, academics, and energy bosses are increasingly telling the truth that his policies will lock us into higher bills for decades. https://twitter.com/gbnews/status/1991765516932071836 [Source]

  Ed Miliband is racking up 24,000 air miles this week to lecture us on climate change. But he couldn’t be bothered to come to the Commons to defend his bogus promise to cut bills by £300. Our Cheap Power Plan would cut bills NOW. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1988701882060296313/video/1 [Source]

  Ed Miliband has hiked the Carbon Tax by 70% this year, pushing up your energy bills. Tonight, MPs can vote to axe the Carbon Tax and back our plan to cut electricity bills by 20% INSTANTLY. If Labour truly cared about cutting bills, they’d back it. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1988520791164453304/video/1 [Source]

  The result of a supply crushing tax (NICs) and completely mad overregulation (Employments Rights Bill). Also about to happen to housing (Soil Tax and Renters Bills). And energy (Carbon Tax/AR7) Fewer jobs, fewer homes, higher bills. Sad and predictable. https://twitter.com/bbcbreaking/status/1988147307439624632 [Source]

  Almost all businesses in the country will face higher bills to pay for this policy. Our Cheap Power Plan would cut electricity bills by 20% for EVERYONE. Axe the Carbon Tax, scrap old wind subsidies that get 3x the price of electricity. Make electricity cheap. https://twitter.com/skinnock/status/1984235477260746803 [Source]

  ????????NEW: Ed Miliband has just quietly increased the Boiler Tax - pushing up the price of gas boilers to force people into buying heat pumps. As I warned last year, Ed now has open-ended powers to make gas boilers increasingly unaffordable in the name of Net Zero. The targets and fines will only get more punitive in the years ahead, piling on more pressure when families can least afford it. Ed has slipped this out on a Friday afternoon because he is hoping that no one will notice. We have [Source]

  Great thread. The Carbon Tax is making our electricity from gas, wind, solar and nuclear artificially expensive. Thanks to Miliband, it’s gone up by 70% this year. That kills growth, living standards and electrification. Our Cheap Power Plan would axe the Carbon Tax and cut everyone’s electricity bills by 20% instantly. [Source]

  I’ve got one! Would axing the Carbon Tax on electricity generation lower the cost we pay for gas, wind, solar and nuclear and would that benefit consumers? https://twitter.com/martinslewis/status/1982732045290774647 [Source]

  Step three. Repeal the Climate Change Act. The Act forces Ministers to make decisions that make people poorer and Britain weaker. The Boiler Tax. Drax. Expensive electricity. All have their roots in the rigid targets in the Act. We will repeal it and put cheap energy first. [Source]

  That pushes up the cost of gas, but also the cost of almost everything else too - wind, solar, and nuclear. And Ed has increased the Carbon Tax by 70% since the start of the year thanks to Labour’s EU deal. We will axe it. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1982013559941873922/photo/1 [Source]

  This is our Cheap Power Plan. Step one - Axe the Carbon Tax on electricity generation. When Ed Miliband tells you gas is the problem, what he doesn’t tell you is that about a third of what you pay for electricity is a Carbon Tax the government CHOOSES to impose. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1982013550257111186/photo/1 [Source]
