Why Ed Miliband – not Iran – is to blame for the UK’s energy crisis | David Turver

As the Iran War sends oil and gas prices spiralling, Labour’s Ed Miliband has doubled down on his Net Zero zealotry. Switching from fossil fuels to renewables, the UK energy minister claims, will drive costs down, reduce volatility and protect British consumers from external shocks. Here, David Turver – energy analyst and author of the Eigen Values Substack – demolishes Miliband’s green-energy delusions. Labour’s crusade against fossil fuels, Turver says, has proven far more damaging than the war in Iran. Britain has been lumbered with an energy system that is needlessly expensive, overly reliant on imports and that carries the risks of widespread blackouts.
