Ed Miliband

Ed Miliband yesterday gave a speech at the Energy Futures Lab, here at Imperial College.

I didn't manage to press him about Kingsnorth, but he certainly was frank about the problems facing the UK electricity generation sector.
I believe that his over-riding concern is that the lights have to stay on (not guaranteed in this day and age where 1/3 of our power stations are being shut down). He also spent a long time talking about carbon capture and storage - he certainly understands the need and potential for that.

I know it's very dull for me to say that he gave a good speech, and that I think he's doing a good job - but genuinely, I do.

...and I think that he will approve kingsnorth.
