27 Apr 2022 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) Our vulnerability to continued high gas prices is why we need a Green Energy Sprint and an urgent national home insulation programme to cut bills, cut imports, and cut emissions. The government must use this critical summer to prepare now for the months ahead. [Source]

07 Apr 2022 Katie White MP (@KatieJWhite) IPCC report - we have to severe our use of fossil fuels. Homegrown renewable energy is flourishing. Backing that (inc onshore wind) & insulating our homes would’ve been the quickest way to ⬇️ our reliance on the ???? market, help consumers & tackle climate. Today’s strategy doesn’t [Source]
07 Apr 2022 Rachael Maskell MP (@RachaelMaskell) We have an energy crisis. We have a climate crisis. And what do we get:
????Fracking
????Nothing to help improve energy efficiency and retrofitting
????No progress with onshore wind and solar
The Tories have abandoned the planet and abandoned you. #ClimateDestruction [Source]

06 Apr 2022 Pippa Heylings MP (@pippaheylings) This is disgraceful. Once again this is the govt of blah blah blah with no action. This not only consigns people to ever higher & unaffordable energy bills but also is a failure to meet binding net zero targets - the day after IPCC reports even less time to keep below 1.5 https://twitter.com/ChairGreenLDs/status/1511662002938302465 [Source]
06 Apr 2022 Wera Hobhouse MP (@Wera_Hobhouse) Fracking could be back. Utter folly.
We are in a Climate Emergency!
This is the moment when the government shows it’s true colours.
Boris Johnson and his ministers were never seriously committed to get to net zero and uses any excuse to keep going with business as usual. [Source]

There are a whole raft of "most important issues" questions (including ours) that include climate Change. [Source]
05 Apr 2022 Chris Curtis MP (@chriscurtis94) @beicwrtaff@ToddDAmbra It was tricky because there is still kind of a debate about whether we should respond to climate change at all...as well as how we should do it / how quick we should do it. [Source]

04 Apr 2022 Richard Burgon MP (@RichardBurgon) Today's UN climate report again underlines just how close we are to climate catastrophe.
We urgently need our Government to maximise the shift to renewable energy and to insulate millions of homes.
Instead it's planning to double down on expensive North Sea oil & gas. Reckless. [Source]

04 Apr 2022 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) When it relaunches its energy strategy this week, the Government must go all in on a green energy sprint - including onshore wind, the cheapest power available, + a national mission on energy efficiency - to cut bills, strengthen our energy security and tackle the climate crisis.

04 Apr 2022 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) The climate crisis hasn’t gone away - emissions are still rising and we’re heading for a catastrophic 3.2C of warming on current policies

03 Apr 2022 Darren Jones MP (@darrenpjones) Britain still holds the Presidency of @COP26. We have a real opportunity to show the world that our response to the energy crisis can be based on speeding up our delivery of net zero. Let’s get it right at home and then help persuade the world to do the same. [Source]
03 Apr 2022 David Davis MP (@DavidDavisMP) If we want to get to Net Zero, we have to invest in North Sea oil and gas as well as nuclear power in order to fund the necessary carbon capture. As prices soar, it’s time for decisive action from the government to secure our energy future.
