Ed Miliband vows to take on NIMBYs to build more wind and photovoltaic power

Ed Miliband has vowed to take on NIMBYs and build more wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) power stations across Britain.

The Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary claimed that increasing renewable energy supply was a matter of “national security”.

Speaking at an Energy UK conference in London, Miliband praised how the price of wind and PV power had fallen by more than a third in the past decade.
“Cheap, clean renewables offer us price stability that fossil fuels simply cannot provide,” he said.

“That means if we are serious about energy security, family security, economic security and national security, we need the greater energy independence that only clean energy can give us.”
