Energy Secretary Ed Miliband will double down on Labour’s Net Zero obsession in a major speech tomorrow, declaring the fossil fuel era “over” and unveiling new green measures as the Iran conflict drives energy prices higher and families face £2,000 annual bills.
Miliband: Fossil Fuel Security is Over
Mr Miliband will say: “As we face the second global energy shock in less than five years, the lesson for our country is clear; the era of fossil fuel security is over, and the era of clean energy security must come of age.” He will argue the crisis proves the urgent need to embrace renewables.
New Green Measures Announced
The package includes accelerating the Warm Homes Programme for faster solar panel and electric vehicle adoption, increasing solar installations on public land, and delinking electricity prices from gas costs. The Government claims this will cut bills, though the exact mechanism remains unclear.
Rejects North Sea Drilling
Miliband will push back against calls from Conservatives and Reform UK to expand North Sea oil and gas production. He will describe such demands as “retreating to the comfort of false solutions” while admitting the North Sea remains “an important resource”.
- Miliband declares fossil fuel era “over”

- Plans to delink electricity prices from gas
- Rejects “drill baby drill” calls from Reform and Tories
- Claims solar and EV sales rising despite crisis
Reform UK: Labour’s Green Fantasy Exposed
Reform UK has condemned the speech as dangerous fantasy. While families face soaring bills and businesses struggle with 60 per cent higher industrial electricity prices than competitors, Labour is doubling down on Net Zero ideology instead of exploiting North Sea resources. Reform demands an immediate end to the war on British energy, lower bills and real energy security.
What This Means for Britain
Ed Miliband’s speech shows Labour is completely out of touch. As the Iran war pushes energy prices higher and economists warn of recession and unemployment topping two million, the Energy Secretary is using the crisis to push more green targets instead of securing cheap, reliable British energy.
Britain has some of the highest energy costs in Europe because of Labour’s Net Zero obsession. Reform UK’s message is clear: stop the green madness, drill for North Sea oil and gas, cut taxes and put British families and British jobs first. With local elections weeks away, voters have a chance to reject Labour’s failing energy policy and back the only party that will deliver real relief on bills.
