Del Vince accuses the hadith “zero nonsense”
Del VinceFounder of the Energy Energy Company and the Labor Party’s donor, accused Tony Blair The hadith is “nonsense” on a clear zero policy. In a statement he said:
This from Tony Blair is zero nonsense. He talks about the increasing demand for fossils from China, in fact it has a climax. He says we need to focus less on renewable energy and more on carbon capture – one cheap and abundant and prevent carbon emissions, and the other is an incredibly expensive way to try to deal with emissions. Prevention (green energy) is always better and cheaper than treatment.
Net Zero is actually the economic opportunity in the century. Jobs and GDP growth is what is at risk, Green Energy can bring both these, that fossil fuels will keep us on Rollercoasster Global Energy Bill and Carbon Capture is the task of Fools. Expect better than this than TBI.
The counterpart of the Green Party Jenny Jones Tony Blair described as “out of touch” for climate policy. I published this On social media.
Tony Blair is completely out of touch. Uklabour should ignore it as previous remains. Net Zero is popular with people.
Who can argue with the warmer homes, better public transportation, and (potential) much cheaper energy, when we are sorted of gas.
Environment Minister Steve Reed provides the importance of Blair’s criticism of the Safi Al -Safir strategy
In his interview with Times Radio, Steve ReedThe Minister of Environment was specifically asked about the demand from the source of his unveiled Labor Party, who said that Safi Safar Tony Blair had anger. (He sees 9.46 amRed asked: “No, he asked me if he agreed,” No, I’m no. “
Reed also raised any extent to which Blair’s article was criticizing the government’s policy. He said:
One of the other points that Tony makes in his article is that there must be more focus on carbon capture technology and storage. Well, we agree with that. The government invests 22 billion pounds in that technology. This is the largest amount of any government ever invested.
So I think we are doing what Tony Blair says he wants to see him, but we also turn from dependence, and excessive dependence on fossil fuels because it is better for the country to control our energy.
In an interview with LBC, he was asked if Blair was right to say “zero zero is sentenced”, Reed replied:
I don’t think this is what Tony Blair said, to be exhibition. This government transmits the economy away from dependence on fossil fuels.
In the introduction he wrote to the report published by Thinktank yesterday, Blair He did not speak explicitly about the policy of the UK government (he was talking about the climate policy in the developing world in general – although the points he presented applied to the United Kingdom as much as it is anywhere) and did not directly mention the goal of the net zero 2050. But he said:
Any strategy that depends on either “gradual disposal of” fossil fuels in the short term or the specific consumption is a strategy condemned to failure.
Work is “clear” after Tony Blair interfered with the government climate strategy
Good morning. Keir Starmer PMQS a day after Tony Blair’s launch actually faces Torbid in his clear strategy – an essential part of the action plan for change. We covered Blair’s comments On the blog yesterday Here Jessica Elgotstory.
Blair has been out of office 15 years ago, but he is still an influential and knowledgeable figure and no one is alive in British policy that has a better record in winning the general elections. Until relatively recently, climate policy has been a field that all major parties were agreed on on a large scale. after Kimi Badnosh Recently letter The saying that the legal goal of the government of obtaining carbon emissions to zero by 2050 was unreasonable (despite the fact that the Conservative Party government did not refer to this, and Badnush itself was one of the deputies who He agreed to secondary legislation without voting against), And with Nigel Faraj Now he says The government does not need to do anything about climate changeBlair is a final evidence that the consensus is now inherited.
Badenoch is likely to raise this in PMQS today, not at least because much What Blair said It looked as if he could come from one of her sermons. according to PoliticoAlso, the question of today is also scheduled.
Steve Reed, The Minister of Environment was conducting an interview in the morning, and he reduced the importance of Blair’s intervention. He told the Times:
[Blair is] Providing a valid and important contribution to a very important discussion that we offer. I agree with a lot of what he said, but not every word, point and separation from it.
But this government moves to clean energy because it is the best for Britain. It is more energy security for Britain. It is jobs and investment throughout the United Kingdom. These are all things that we want to see all.
Red followed Ed MilibandThe Minister of Energy, who said this when he was asked about Blair’s comments in the House of Commons yesterday.
I agree with a lot of what [the report from Blair’s thinktank] He says. She says we must move forward and store carbon, which is what the government does. She says we must move forward in the role of the government’s artificial intelligence. She says we must move forward in the nucleus, which the government does.

The anger in the work ranks was clear last night, as a activist told Playbook that the Foot soldiers “work on socks” before the locals “are incredibly angry.” The square activist suggested that a bout of anger “a person is struggling to influence” … and even continued to indicate that TBI might receive Money from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. (Think Tank’s Blair insisted that he was “independently independent”.
