Fossil Fuels
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to help reduce levels of dependence on international fossil fuel markets.
Answered by Ed Miliband
Since coming to office this government has secured enough renewables in our two record breaking auctions to power the equivalent of 23 million homes and embarked on the biggest nuclear building programme in half a century.
Only by going further and faster in building clean homegrown power can we reduce our level of dependence on fossil fuel markets.
