This morning Labour leader Ed
Miliband used his speech on the economy at the London Stock Exchange to attack
the Chancellor George Osborne for “posing the environment and the economy as
alternatives.”
Responding, Greenpeace’s
executive director, John Sauven, said:
“George Osborne must stop
holding back Britain’s low-carbon businesses. Everybody from the CBI to the
Labour leadership to green groups are now urging him to back these growing
industries.

Commenting on energy
minister Ed Miliband's announcements on more nuclear power stations today,
Ben Ayliffe, head of Greenpeace's
nuclear campaign, said:
"Miliband can name as
many sites as he likes for new nuclear power stations, but the fact remains that
the figures simply don't add up.

While today is unlikely to go down in the
annals of history as Green Wednesday, it's still a significant day for those of
us concerned about climate change as climate and energy secretary Ed Miliband
unveils his big energy strategy.
The strategy - the Low Carbon Transition Plan,
no less - comes in the form of not one but a whole ream of papers (including an
energy white paper) covering renewable energy, transport, industry and carbon
budgets. Together, they form a blueprint explaining how the government hopes to
achieve the emissions reductions it's legally obliged to deliver, thanks to the
EU renewable energy targets and the UK's own Climate Change Act.
Was it a red letter day for green energy?
Let's see.

Overview
Responding to today's
government energy announcements, John
Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace, said:
"If this plan becomes a
reality, it will create hundreds of thousands of green jobs and make Britain
a safer and more prosperous country. This will be good for the British economy
and, in the long-run, save householders money as we reduce our dependence on
foreign oil and gas.

It's been a long time since there were polar
bears at London Zoo, but the famous attraction still houses many other species
which are threatened by the effects of climate change. So I can't help but
wonder whether this fact registered with Gordon Brown (himself an endangered
species) as he stood up at the zoo to present his blueprint for a global climate
action plan.
