💡Ed Miliband reaffirms the UK's pledge to cut household energy bills by up to £300 by 2030. Clean power like solar and wind is key, he says
@iain_staffell highlights that renewables will eventually reduce bills, but short-term savings aren't guaranteed

The UK’s plan to reduce emissions by 81% by 2035 & triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 has been called “bold” by the UN, but @RobinLamboll says it’s not “particularly inspiring.”
@JoeriRogelj highlights the need for policies to match the ambition.

Ed Miliband is right: UK electricity bills are too high. ⚡️
We pay nearly 26p/kWh, while the US and Sweden pay much less.
Dr @iain_staffell says the system is flawed, with gas still setting prices. The solution? Green transition & market reform. 🌍
