Labour’s great green energy plan could be a legacy as vital as the NHS | Polly Toynbee Ed Miliband has a rare chance to do for the climate what Nye Bevan did for health: create something future generations will be proud of, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

"Labour’s great green energy plan could be a legacy as vital as the NHS".

I agree. More power to Ed Miliband's elbow. Sod the haters in the rightwing press. They hate him because he's winning.

Why do they like biofuels? Because it keeps the "we must burn things" crew in business.

It's great for refineries which are owned by the oil industry.

They love their tax subsidized biofuels for burning.

In the era of EVs, it's one more way to keep the US in the past.

As @billmckibben.bsky.social says, we urgently need to stop burning things for energy.

This includes burning fossil fuels of course, but also burning trees and crops, which *increases* emissions for decades.

We need to electrify energy systems using solar and wind.

Game birds 'could wipe out adders in most of Britain within 12 years' Uncontrolled release of birds for shooting threatens UK’s only venomous snake, expert warns

'The adder, Britain’s only venomous snake, could become extinct across much of Britain within 12 years because of the uncontrolled release of 47 million non-native pheasants and 10 million partridge into the countryside by estates and shoots.' (Oct 2020)

This from the fascist and violent MAGA Republican party that supports immunity for the US President assassinating their political opposition!

Both criminal and unconstitutional. Guess the broligarchy doesn't understand that "eat the rich" means them.

It is not a conspiracy anymore.

In 1948/49, Israel destroyed over 400 Palestinian villages, driving populations that had lived there for millennia into exile and refugee hood. An act of ethnic cleansing that is being repeated today. Gaza, the West Bank and now Lebanon. This is obscene and cruel and wicked. End of.

Who’d have thought a fossil-fuel shill like Trump would be the one to spark a green revolution? | George Monbiot The US attack on Iran has made the need for renewable energy inarguable, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

“Greens who were long dismissed as “idealistic” & “unrealistic” now look like hard-headed pragmatists & true patriots. They’re years ahead of their rivals in demanding a transition that makes sense on every level: environmental, economic & political” - great article from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👇

Letter on UK Parliament headed paper dated 16 April 2026, addressed to Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. Green MPs urge him to maintain the ban on new North Sea oil and gas licences and not approve projects like Rosebank, Jackdaw or Cambo. The letter argues new fossil fuel extraction will not lower bills or improve energy security, and says claims about protecting jobs are inaccurate. It highlights that 93% of recoverable oil and gas has already been extracted and that remaining resources would be sold internationally. The MPs warn expanding fossil fuels harms workers, billpayers and future generations, and call instead for investment in renewable energy, warmer homes, future-proof jobs, and making polluters pay. Signed by Carla Denyer, Ellie Chowns, Siân Berry, Hannah Spencer and Adrian Ramsay.

Our MPs have written to Ed Miliband urging him not to backtrack on the ban on new oil and gas.

More drilling won’t lower bills or secure our energy future. It’s time to invest in renewables, future-proof jobs, and make polluters pay.
