The fun thing about the argument between Miliband and Coutinho is they are both right. Excessively inflexible policies can stifle innovation. But unstable policies can undermine investment. The challenge is getting the balance right. businessgreen.com/news/4203603/u…

On net zero more broadly, she emphasises that the transition "isn’t a burden on the country - this is absolutely a massive economic opportunity so we’ve got to be at the forefront of it".

I’ve always been inspired by (& slightly jealous of) the people who made the Climate Change Act happen. Great to understand more about about that historic moment through this conversation with @bryworthington

@adamvaughan_uk The quote below is what she calls for in the speech. Fine to argue for policy to do that, but what actually happens is that it ends up with no policy at all (eg on tackling shipping emissions) or next to no progress (eg on tackling HGV emissions)
@adamvaughan_uk CEOs who put policy certainty at the top of their wish lists tend to be most resistant to the transformational change we need to decarbonise the economy. Medium/long term objectives (eg electrification) need to be consistent and clear but policy should reflect evidence.

I’ve always been inspired by (& slightly jealous of) the people who made the Climate Change Act happen. Great to understand more about about that historic moment through this conversation with @bryworthington
Why was the Climate Change Act such an important moment of UK leadership? Why did it happen when it did? And what were the politics that made it possible? Listen to Ep7 with @bryworthington who was at the heart of the story. Find it via this link: political-heat.captivate.fm

Interesting pitch from the UK's energy secretary, arguing businesses need to live with more uncertainty. Every CEO I've ever met puts policy certainty at the top of their wishlist...

@emilyshuckburgh 'As a scientist it is a little bit heartbreaking - it has been so clear now for so long... try as hard as we can, we haven't really been listened to... there is still hope. We know what we should be doing, we know what we could be doing.'
Interesting - spooked by green gains in Bristol, Labour is doing its own anti-ULEZ style campaign, similar to the one levied against Labour's Sadiq Khan in London by the Tories.
The Green Party in Bristol refused to rule out expanding the Clean Air Zone on @BBCRB today. What are the Green Party’s plans to extend the Clean Air Zone? Which areas will be included? I’ve written to @carla_denyer to ask. Voters deserve to know.
Not quite sure where to begin with this Joel Kotkin piece in the @Telegraph Questionable claims include those around "the green lobby, and their oligarchic backers” (?) but there are plenty more bizarre statements too... 🧵
In my view, this is the first serious effort to create a much more positive dividing line in UK politics: between those who want to achieve Net Zero through markets and those who want to achieve it through central planning. /1
