Solar and wind is cheaper is it? Then remove ALL SUBSIDIES from them and then show us the REAL cost of your "renewables" that only ever work in their ideal weather.

I’m not going to listen to anything from @LibDems @EdwardJDavey on climate change #Netzero If we hadn’t listened to the @LibDems 🤡 10yrs ago we would have had a nuclear power plant up and running by now. The majority don’t want #NetZero madness. @RishiSunak

Offshore wind is the most expensive form of energy, Ed Davey cannot count.

It’s hard to take accept the credibility on scientific understanding from a politician that actually thinks it is biologically possible to change sex. Climate change is most definitely happening but we need credible leaders who can use the best scientific understanding.

The guy who suggested setting the seismic limit for fracking sites lower than a building site and thinks it was clever... I'd rather spend the evening pulling out my own fingernails with pliers. #frackoff

@mrrobwilson Cameron urged constantly to “cut the green crap” by right-wing Tory backbenchers during the coalition because Liberal Democrat ministers were implementing green policies like investment in offshore wind and setting up a green investment bank (later scrapped by Cameron). #NetZero

Explain the difference in costs to changing a gas boiler, to installing a ashp system. A Vast difference in cost. Servicing boilers roughly 70+vat. Servicing an ashp system £200+

I’m not sure they’re factually wrong though! The #Tories will lose money from donors if they don’t get the assurances they want to keep pumping out destructive gases etc into our environment. #GeneralElectionN0W

This could well be Rishi Sunak’s “Truss Moment “ - so lacking in good judgment it beggars belief.

He may be right but sure as heck having to buy a EV car or a noisy ugly heat pump is WAY more expensive.

Lib Dem is pretending that global climate change is caused by UK and the UK alone can tackle it by restricting British economy and British people’s lifestyle, it is totally wrong.

Davey is full of hot air and lies about the price and even the carbon impact of wind farms.

Ed Davey, a libdem was secretary of state for energy and climate change in Cameron's coalition government from 2012. Pretty much responsible for the mess we have today. @bbcNickRobinson

Ed wants us to hand our future to China. Buy an electric car, make China stronger. What did that Chinese spy get for the money, Ed? Couldn’t help but notice your constituency office is next door to a Chinese take away😂

@EdwardJDavey has been very quiet on the outcome of the Post Office Scandal. He was the Minister in charge. Are you going to interview him?

The same Ed Davey who wanted his constituency taken out of ULEZ but wanted it imposed on everyone else in Outer London. FOH 🤡

Ed Davey - "essentially handing the future to China" I thought he would be pleased, it could mean he gets even more Yuan. #DimSumDavey
