Energy Secretary Ed Miliband emphasized the government's commitment to achieving net zero by promoting offshore wind job creation. During an industry conference, he unveiled a £1 billion investment aimed at rejuvenating formerly industrial regions like Teesside and South Wales, positioning this initiative as a green industrial revolution. Miliband criticized political opponents from Conservative and Reform UK parties who oppose net zero measures, framing job creation in the offshore wind sector as crucial to countering their narrative. This funding is expected to produce thousands of jobs across the supply chain, reinforcing government objectives.
We're going to win this fight, and we're going to win this fight partly because of all the jobs that these companies are creating with us.
The forces that want to take us backwards, the forces that oppose net zero, will have to reckon not just with the government.
