Our polling shows only 11% of the public oppose onshore wind developments that have local consent.
With energy bills soaring, removing the ban on onshore wind is common-sense- and good politics.
23 Nov 2022
NEW: Former cabinet minister Simon Clarke has tabled an amendment to the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill to overturn the ban on new onshore wind
Tells me: "If we're going to have some anti-growth amendments on the bill we might as well have some pro-growth ones too"

#fracking = non-starter / Ponzi scheme / literal death

But govt needs to lead in this recalibration by 1. eliminate gigantic subsidies for fossil fuels and other such dying industries 2. remove regulatory barriers that protect centralised utility monopolies 3. create new rights for individuals to own/trade electricity /32

So many MPs are duplicitous. @Jeremy_Hunt
enjoys a photo op for Anti-fracking cookies / personal branding points.

Then uses Voting as the opportunity to save his personal income.
Yes or No to #Fracking?
Seems our parliamentarians cannot be trusted to be consistent.

We forgot Yeovil MP @MarcusFysh
Also a traitor who voted in favour of polluter water, air and soil to keep his government salary.

The Cotswolds MP just voted AGAINST a ban on fracking. He could have voted to protect our area and he failed to do so #fracking #Tories #Cotswolds

We leave the eloquence to Caroline Lucas.
Local consent?
No.
Not here
#Fracking
Not anywhere.

Sadly Labour’s attempt to defeat Government on #fracking fails - 230 for their motion, 326 against. So this climate-wrecking, earthquake-triggering, ideologically-driven, deeply unpopular, fracking fantasy lives another day - but if local consent means anything, it can’t happen

No #Fracking
"UK newspapers have published more editorials about fracking this year than ever before – 39 in total – all of them have been broadly in favour of it. The Sun alone has published at least 25 editorials praising fracking since January"

Will Somerset PPCs sign the .@biofuelwatch pledge to end subsidies of over £1billion a year which we pay to burn forests?
Please sign

.@JSHeappey I am writing as your constituent to ask that you support the call to scrap biomass subsidies which cost UK taxpayers £1 billion a year. Transfer subsidies to genuinely renewable energy.
.@biofuelwatch
Please sign this pledge & show commitment
