Show Notes
Ed Miliband, the UKs Net Zero secretary, is poised to approve the Jackdaw gasfield in the North Sea, despite his commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions. This decision comes amidst escalating energy prices due to the Iran conflict and the need for energy security. Milibands shift in stance follows support from various political figures and parties, including former Prime Minister Tony Blairs team, British Gas, and the Conservative Party. However, he remains opposed to the Rosebank field, which is mostly oil. The final decision on both fields will be made after the upcoming Scottish elections, highlighting the ongoing debate on energy production and climate goals.
