04 Oct 2024 Neil O'Brien MP (@NeilDotObrien) The dash for a net zero grid by 2020 will mean the (already high) costs of energy in the UK will go even higher, as we have to start paying for VERY expensive storage, on top of the cost of rapid renewable rollout. [Source]

04 Oct 2024 Anna Turley MP (@annaturley) Just brilliant that today Teesside will be at the heart of Labour’s commitment to a Net Zero future.
This will be transformative and put us at the heart of the green energy transition and the jobs and opportunities of the future.

04 Oct 2024 Andrew Bowie MP (@AndrewBowie_MP) Good news for CCUS but...it's less money per year than promised by us, some projects previously earmarked have disappeared and no commitment on how much is to be stored by when.
And *none* of this will make up for the designed destruction of our oil and gas sector by Labour. [Source]
03 Oct 2024 Melanie Onn MP (@melanie_onn) Yesterday, I visited the Siemens factory in Hull to watch the first turbine blades for the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm coming off the line.
Green energy projects like Sofia will help to create new jobs in the Humber region, drastically improving our energy security in the process. https://x.com/melanie_onn/status/1841855751716798760/photo/1 [Source]
03 Oct 2024 Caroline Voaden MP (@CarolineVoaden) @MickNicholson9 They are all priorities but many are inextricably linked; housing, poverty, health & care for example. Better public health & transport ➡️economic growth ➡️more rev for investment. Net zero crucial as time critical.

02 Oct 2024 James McMurdock MP (@JamesReform) Troubling information learned today regarding the #NetZero Battery Energy Storage Systems in Kent
Batteries are:
highly toxic
unstable
impossible to put out if fire erupts
Failures in similar programmes in ????????????????
If the same happened here c60k residents risk being poisoned https://x.com/JamesReform/status/1841560907392156022/photo/1 [Source]
02 Oct 2024 Richard Tice MP (@TiceRichard) DANGER: NET ZERO BATTERY STORAGE
Not only are mega battery storage plans inefficient & brutally expensive, they’re also serious fire risk
“Thermal runaway” means when they catch fire, fire service cannot put them out but have to let burn over many days.
Toxic fumes released… https://x.com/i/web/status/1841487027021209751 [Source]

01 Oct 2024 Suella Braverman MP (@SuellaBraverman) Labour’s reckless obsession with dangerous green ideology has cost 3,000 hard-working Brits their jobs at Port Talbot.
Militant Miliband is happy to sacrifice livelihoods, deindustrialise & push up energy bills.
Bankrupting the British people cannot be how we achieve net zero. https://twitter.com/itvwales/status/1840369036271469043 [Source]
