Ed Miliband outlines new direction on energy management
Energy and climate secretary Ed Miliband has outlined a new direction on energy management, as well as taking steps to highlight the UK's need for a new low-carbon, secure energy mix.
In a statement, Mr Miliband - who is also the Labour MP for Doncaster North - said that the threats posed by climate change mean that a move away from a system that relies heavily on fossil fuels is needed.
He claimed that a "radically different" system that includes clean coal, renewable and nuclear energy is required.
"Change is also needed for energy security. In a world where our North Sea reserves are declining, a more diverse low-carbon energy mix is a more secure energy mix, less vulnerable to fluctuations," Mr Miliband added.
He concluded by noting that by making use of new technologies, green jobs and growth will be secured for future energy businesses operating in the UK.
