• 21 Nov 2024 The climate change lobby have been itching to get this on the statute book for years because it uses higher costs to force people to buy heat pumps. [Source]
• 19 Nov 2024 RT @DrSimEvans: +++NEW ANALYSIS: China’s CO2 emissions have now caused more global warming than EU+++ Our new analysis comes as the "princ… [Source]
• 14 Nov 2024 Starmer is pushing ever higher climate targets for Britain - raising prices and exporting jobs - in return for more imports from coal-powered China, the world’s largest polluter. Labour must publish an assessment of the increased reliance on China and resulting carbon emissions. https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1857052757816967343/video/1 [Source]
• 13 Nov 2024 Mad. Even the Climate Change Committee says we’ll be using oil and gas in 2050. Why get ‘emotional’? Because 200k British jobs are on the line. £12bn tax revenue which is now being squeezed out of pensioners, farmers and business instead. All for imports with MORE emissions. https://twitter.com/lbc/status/1856449061705937032 [Source]
• 13 Nov 2024 Keir Starmer is signing us up to climate targets that will likely require huge sacrifices from the British people. At the same time, he’s saying he won’t tell people how to live their lives. Those two things cannot be true at the same time. https://x.com/GBNEWS/status/1856615740582805853/video/1 [Source]
• 10 Nov 2024 Interesting, @thetimes asks readers whether they think Ed Miliband’s net zero plans are realistic. Over 90% don’t. The public can see what Labour politicians seemingly cannot. The question is, how much damage will they do before they course correct? https://www.thetimes.com/article/0da9968b-1d18-42fc-8592-1434516cf231?shareToken=bb1dd5507301a6f12ac3de09f77d4770 https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1855656433351860350/photo/1 [Source]
• 05 Nov 2024 Next, Ed’s entire premise is that by ‘getting off gas’ we will make energy cheaper. But the NESO’s modelling shows in the CCUS pathway, gas will price the system as much as 47% of the time. That’s not ‘getting away from international gas markets’, nor ‘100% clean power’, is… https://x.com/i/web/status/1853788359820202254 https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1853788359820202254/photo/1 [Source]
• 05 Nov 2024 Today @neso_energy published the advice that @Ed_Miliband commissioned on his target to decarbonise the electricity grid by 2030. I am disappointed but not surprised that he has not come to the House to answer our questions. Because it poses very difficult questions for Labour… https://twitter.com/neso_energy/status/1853693955898057160 [Source]
• 04 Nov 2024 On days like these, if not gas then what? If gas then it should come from Britain. We get c. 50% of our gas supply from the North Sea. Labour will leave us reliant on foreign imports. (If CCUS or hydrogen then the first still needs gas, and both are more expensive). https://twitter.com/kathrynporter26/status/1853224701289443390 [Source]
• 02 Nov 2024 As I said in the House last week, far from bringing bills down, Ed Miliband’s plans to ramp up renewables at breakneck speed are sending bills up. The IFS agrees. Industry will just go abroad (worse for climate change) and households will be poorer. https://www.thetimes.com/article/4f27fdaf-8b7d-4ad9-ab30-164b80a7d545?shareToken=2ef8886656dd35e9d8caa017fab1aea1 https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1852601383301640455/photo/1 [Source]
• 31 Oct 2024 RT @GaiaFawkes: IFS Chief: Net Zero Splurge Doesn't Help Growth at All http://order-order.com/2024/10/31/ifs-chief-net-zero-splurge-doesnt-help-growth-at-all/ https://x.com/GaiaFawkes/status/1851975609951334872/photo/1 [Source]
• 18 Oct 2024 If the widespread burning of forests is part of the solution to climate change, then we need to ask what problem we are trying to solve. Read my piece on why Ed Miliband needs to think again on Drax's power BECCS plan???????? https://www.thetimes.com/article/01e2bc29-5788-47ce-b9eb-d47d291a8bcf?shareToken=c3e32be0b3b19c61d6b3080a6b237070 [Source]
• 13 Oct 2024 RT @NeilDotObrien: This week I asked Ed Miliband if he would publish a costing of his plans for a net zero grid (a costing was commisioned… [Source]
• 08 Oct 2024 Ed Miliband is out on a limb with his approach to energy and net zero. Whether you’re Blue Labour or Blairite - even his own party is now sounding the alarm. The question is how long will he last and how much damage can he cause in the meantime? https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1843631634433946062/video/1 [Source]
• 02 Oct 2024 The end of British steel-making 10,000 jobs lost Importing steel from China which is 60% powered by coal Those cheering this as decarbonisation have lost the plot. This is bad for global emissions. https://twitter.com/lbc/status/1841074826569490929 [Source]

• 27 Sep 2024 If we don’t focus on cheap energy then our industries will move abroad to countries which are still powered by coal. There is no point in being world leading if no one will follow your lead. We’d be better off investing in tech to help the rest of the world decarbonise cheaply. https://twitter.com/telegraph/status/1839410052127424847 [Source]
• 19 Sep 2024 Ed Miliband is pursuing a 2030 decarbonisation target that no other major economy is aiming for — with no analysis of what it will do to the cost of our energy or our reliance on Chinese imports. Everyone who cares about energy bills should be asking him these questions. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1836783312100114498/photo/1 [Source]
• 17 Sep 2024 This is important because countries around the world - the 99% - are watching. If an ideological approach to net zero makes our energy more expensive, businesses will move abroad to countries with dirtier systems, prices go up, and developing countries won’t follow our lead. [Source]
• 03 Sep 2024 It’s shame that Ed Miliband/Labour are reverting to statist central planning policies for net zero. The market solutions we put in place created the largest price falls in new technologies for consumers. We must learn from this. [Source]
• 23 Aug 2024 Instead of prioritising cheap energy, Ed Miliband is pursuing reckless net zero targets with no thoughts to the costs to ordinary families. Unions and industry leaders have already sounded the alarm that that Labour’s plan will leave us colder and poorer. [Source]
• 22 Aug 2024 Consumers get the best products when they drive the market through choice. An overly-centralised approach to net zero risks slowing down take-up, and requires higher incentives or stricter punishments to force consumers to buy products that govt dictates is ‘right’ for them. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1826654579997704667/photo/1 https://twitter.com/edconwaysky/status/1826504242234098150 [Source]
• 19 Aug 2024 This is spot on from @BjornLomborg. As I said in my speech earlier this year, the big prize in climate change will be innovation e.g fusion, batteries, small modular nuclear reactors. The UK can play a major role in providing the solutions the world needs. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/18/innovation-not-global-regulation-will-save-the-planet/ [Source]
• 29 Jul 2024 This wasn’t mentioned in the statement… It will be a disaster for the North Sea and also the energy transition that Labour have said they want to accelerate. O&G companies are the big investors in wind, hydrogen and CCUS. Disaster for the UK slipped out without debate https://twitter.com/bizmattersmag/status/1817983721573613980 [Source]
• 26 Jun 2024 There we have it. Labour are being fundamentally dishonest with the British public about their plans to decarbonise the grid in just 6 years. It is hardworking Brits that will pay the price for their ideology. https://twitter.com/telegraph/status/1806001697577185486 [Source]
• 26 Jun 2024 There are others who call for us to go further and faster to reach Net Zero quicker than any other country. But this will stifle British innovation, leave us reliant on Chinese supply chains, and heap costs on hardworking Brits. [Source]
• 26 Jun 2024 We have made huge progress. But the most important contribution we can make to climate change in the years ahead will be what we invent and what we export. [Source]
• 25 Jun 2024 Sharon Graham, boss of the Unite Union has said Labour's net-zero plans risk thousands of jobs in our thriving oil and gas industry. Their plans for the North Sea will turn our oil and gas workers into "the coal miners of this generation". https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13561229/Union-boss-Sharon-Graham-Labour-net-zero-manifesto-plans-oil-gas-workers.html [Source]
• 19 Jun 2024 Another low for Just Stop Oil. If they really cared about climate change, they should put down the spray paint and train to be welders or engineers. Much more effective but probably too much like work for this lot. https://twitter.com/eveningstandard/status/1803400903052911029 [Source]
• 10 Jun 2024 Last week I was in Teesside where I saw the huge investment, and jobs, in hydrogen, carbon capture and offshore wind delivered by @BenHouchen. To capture the benefits of Net Zero you need to have sensible energy plans. You cannot be led by ideology and put everything at risk. https://twitter.com/simonclarkemp/status/1798955028960715055 [Source]
• 01 Jun 2024 Labour is keeping quiet about their mad plans to decarbonise the grid in just six years. They know it’s a fundamentally dishonest position. Wise words in The Times???????? https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1796830278347878537/photo/1 [Source]

• 21 May 2024 Ed Miliband calls those worried about his mad energy plans ‘climate deniers’ and ‘flat-earthers.’ But we’ve done more than any other major country to tackle climate change. Labour should listen to those sounding the alarm that their plans would hike bills and harm workers. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1792900796524171664/video/1 [Source]
• 16 May 2024 My speech last month on innovation faced multiple protesters, but even Tony Blair’s institute now recognises we need a common sense approach to Net Zero. We are 1% of global emissions - we must not lose focus on the greater prize of innovation + exports. Labour should take note. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1791091809193447741/photo/1 [Source]
• 13 May 2024 RT @TheSun: This week on #NeverMindTheBallots, a Net Zero special, where @MrHarryCole will be putting The Sun readers' tough questions to E… [Source]
• 30 Apr 2024 A delight to chat with @siennamarla about being the youngest member of Cabinet, my practical approach to tackling climate change, and my past as an Oompa Loompa. Full piece here???????? https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/claire-coutinho-interview-desnz-climate-change-net-zero https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1785341093971681346/photo/1 [Source]
• 24 Apr 2024 Countries around the world are facing up to the reality: you cannot heap costs onto struggling families to meet climate targets. We will reach Net Zero. But Ed Miliband should be honest - his mad 2030 decarbonisation plans will hit family finances when they least need it. https://twitter.com/POLITICOEurope/status/1783119096680235169 [Source]
• 21 Apr 2024 People want us to address climate change in a fair way. We push forward on attracting jobs and supporting industry, but we’re not going to heap unnecessary costs on ordinary families. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1782006767485891026/video/1 [Source]
• 12 Apr 2024 From founding the Net Zero Council and supporting families through the global energy crisis, to supporting British oil & gas while helping the UK become the first major economy to halve emissions, he has been a doughty champion for British energy. Thank you, @grahamstuart. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1778802662009393163/photo/1 [Source]
• 12 Apr 2024 Graham's commitment to protecting our environment is longstanding. He attended his first COP in Montreal in 2005 and represented the UK at COP28 last year - securing a significant global commitment to transition away from fossil fuels. https://twitter.com/grahamstuart/status/1778801688427516374 [Source]
• 09 Apr 2024 I’m concerned by the Strasbourg Court decision. How we tackle climate change affects our economic, energy, and national security. Elected politicians are best placed to make those decisions. [Source]
• 12 Mar 2024 When any nation has to choose between net zero and keeping their citizens safe and warm, believe me - they’ll choose to keep the lights on. We need gas to fill in the gaps when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine. I’ll back investors to build it. https://twitter.com/thetimes/status/1767443576441757696 [Source]
• 07 Mar 2024 We got just 7% of our electricity from renewables in 2010. Now, it’s over 40%. Our flagship renewables scheme just got its biggest budget yet at over £1bn, so we can build more green energy & protect billpayers. All part of our plan to drive down bills. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/over-1-billion-budget-for-renewable-energy-auction [Source]
• 08 Feb 2024 Britain deserves a plan to keep energy bills down and to keep the lights on. Labour have shown again they do not have a credible plan on this area which deeply affects people’s lives. They want to keep their plan to decarbonise the grid by 2030 and pretend there’s no cost. [Source]
• 23 Jan 2024 RT @energygovuk: The UK's oil & gas workers have the transferable skills we need to reach net zero. New legislation will help provide cer… [Source]
• 22 Jan 2024 Even the independent Climate Change Committee’s own data shows that we’re going to need oil and gas in the decades ahead. Today, Parliament faces a choice. Do we back 200,000 British workers and use our own supplies... OR Do we send thousands of jobs and tax revenue abroad? https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1749384384317174042/photo/1 [Source]
• 11 Jan 2024 I want to thank Chris for his hard work leading @theCCCuk over the last six years. Under his leadership, the UK became the first major economy to legislate for net zero and the first country in the G20 to halve emissions. A record of which he can be proud.???? https://twitter.com/chiefexecccc/status/1745357058126340596 [Source]
• 08 Jan 2024 Even as we reach net zero, we’re going to need oil and gas in the decades ahead. The question we face today is where to get it from? Do we support 200,000 British workers and use our own? Or import fuels with higher emissions from abroad? https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1744319174271238417/photo/1 [Source]
• 26 Dec 2023 Britain is the first country in the G20 to halve its carbon emissions.   We are world leaders in tackling climate change.   That’s why it’s so important we make sure we’re not burdening hardworking families, but bringing them with us as we continue on our transition to Net Zero. https://twitter.com/frasernelson/status/1739591415791776028 [Source]
• 14 Dec 2023 As @grahamstuart points out, when it comes to climate change targets the only Goverment that didn’t deliver was a Labour one. And their plans now? To borrow an astonishing £28 billion every single year. https://twitter.com/asollowayuk/status/1735409853030379812 [Source]

• 01 Dec 2023 Climate change is not a domestic problem, it’s a global one. At #COP28 we are sharing our experience and expertise which have seen us cut our emissions faster than any of our peers. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1730580357785760052/video/1 [Source]
• 01 Dec 2023 First day at #COP28 - nice to run into @g__j from @OctopusEnergy! Today we announced £1.6bn to support forests and developing countries make their own energy transition. It’s not often said but the UK has the most ambitious carbon emission targets for 2030 of any of our peers. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1730570177627009456/photo/1 [Source]

• 29 Nov 2023 We mustn’t lose sight of what we can learn from the natural world as we tackle climate change. We’ll launch a new National Forest, recover England’s temperate rainforests in Devon, Cornwall and Cumbria, and create two new Community Forests in Derbyshire and the Tees Valley. [Source]
• 28 Nov 2023 A truly historic day for the UK✈️ Fantastic to see @VirginAtlantic making the first ever transatlantic flight powered by 100% sustainable fuel. We are backing great British innovation that's decarbonising transport on our path to Jet Zero. Safe flight @Mark_J_Harper ???? https://twitter.com/skynews/status/1729416085823181264 [Source]
• 22 Nov 2023 These changes represent a HUGE step forward for our energy sector, and for Britain’s future as a clean energy superpower. Unlocking billions in investment, supporting thousands of jobs, and strengthening our energy security as we make progress on our ambitious Net Zero targets. [Source]
• 22 Nov 2023 We must bring people with us as we decarbonise our energy system. People living closest to new infrastructure could see discounts of up to £10,000 off their electricity bills over ???? years. And communities could get at least £200,000 for local projects of their choice. [Source]
• 22 Nov 2023 Our electricity needs are expected to more than double by 2050, with more than two-thirds of power to homes and businesses being generated by renewables. We’re making the biggest grid reforms since the 1950s & championing UK industry in the transition to Net Zero. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1727333521986101627/photo/1 [Source]
• 22 Nov 2023 Today @Jeremy_Hunt set out our plans for the energy sector, supporting jobs & growth. ???????? £960m to speed up development of green energy & homegrown supply chains. ⚡️Huge boost to speed up our electricity grid & unlock 100GW. ????FULL expensing for businesses investing in the UK. [Source]
• 16 Nov 2023 Never let anyone tell you the UK isn’t a world leader in renewable energy. In Q1 of this year 48% of our power came from renewables, up from just 7% in 2010, with the five largest offshore wind farms in the world on our doorstep. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1725075295886041306/video/1 [Source]
• 15 Nov 2023 We are powering ahead with our own homegrown supply - the first nuclear in decades, a world leader in wind, solar, fusion and yes, supporting British oil and gas too, because we know we will still need it once we reach Net Zero. [Source]
• 06 Nov 2023 We have the most ambitious climate change targets of all our peers. Even the independent Climate Change Committee has said that a significant proportion of our energy mix will still come from oil and gas. If we need it, it should come from Britain. That’s just common sense. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1721487847385952383/photo/1 [Source]
• 18 Oct 2023 We couldn’t have decarbonised faster than any other major economy without the commitment of the UK energy industry. At the @EnergyUKcomms conference today I pledged to work closely with industry to support families, boost energy security and deliver Net Zero. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1714741003477717162/photo/1 [Source]
• 17 Oct 2023 ???????? is a global leader in Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage. CCUS could support up to 50k jobs by 2030 & add £5bn to the economy by 2050. As I told #CCUS2023Conference today, we'll be publishing a vision for the sector later this year - boosting investor confidence & growth???? https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1714265588116115789/photo/1 [Source]
• 17 Oct 2023 The UK is now home to the five largest offshore wind farms in the world. Seagreen will provide clean, secure power to 1.6 million homes every year - another success story for our world-leading renewable energy industry. https://twitter.com/seagreenwind/status/1714175839984615590 [Source]
• 09 Oct 2023 Only the Conservatives can deliver energy security with an ambitious yet practical approach to tackling climate change. [Source]
• 09 Oct 2023 The Ed Miliband speaking today is the same man who neglected nuclear, thought our achievement of renewable energy was ‘pie in the sky’ and wants us to import oil and gas from foreign regimes. [Source]
• 05 Oct 2023 Two stories today. Which does more to energise the cause of climate change? First, Just Stop Oil ruins a special night out for theatre-goers. Second, thanks to our £7,500 Boiler Upgrade grant, for the first time in Britain someone can get a heat pump for their home for free. https://twitter.com/juststop_oil/status/1709668756127904157 [Source]
• 27 Sep 2023 We will not play politics with our energy security. Even the independent Climate Change Committee has said that in 2050, we will need oil and gas for a quarter of our energy. [Source]
• 21 Sep 2023 Governments cannot tackle climate change alone. Today @AgnesRunacher and I chaired the Climate and Nature Finance Mobilisation Forum, with HM The King and @EmmanuelMacron, to bring together €2.7bn of private investment to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1704960599703069046/photo/1 [Source]
• 21 Sep 2023 Yesterday we changed Net Zero plans which would have forced unacceptable costs onto families. I’m confident that our changes will still meet our ambitious targets to reduce emissions. Our new approach will also push forward on renewables, new technology and protecting nature. https://twitter.com/telegraph/status/1704779950774243480 [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 The Prime Minister has set out a pragmatic approach to Net Zero which ensures a just transition for hardworking families. We have to bring people with us. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1704564215527157965/video/1 [Source]

• 20 Sep 2023 Across Europe we have seen what happens when policies hit the poorest hardest. We must protect the huge progress that we have made. Rather than policy that forces people to change, this is the path to Net Zero that takes people with us. [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 We can’t tackle climate change without protecting nature. Sadly, the destruction of forests around the world accounts for the equivalent of ten times the emissions of the entire UK. We must, and will, be doing more to protect our environment in the coming weeks. [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 I know the huge pressures that households have faced over the last few years. The changes we are making today will help to protect people from rising costs. Crucially, they will also maintain public support for our ambitious Net Zero commitments, which we must protect. [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 Today we are taking a pragmatic path to ensure we can meet our Net Zero targets. We are fully committed to Net Zero by 2050. The UK has cut emissions by 48% since 1990 - more than any other major country. We’ve nearly eliminated coal and grown our renewable energy sector. https://twitter.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/1704530664408682911/photo/1 [Source]
