Shadow minister Ed Miliband took the stage at the Labour conference in Liverpool yesterday, to unveil a bold vision for the UK’s energy future. At the heart of Labour’s plan lies the creation of GB Energy, a state-owned company dedicated to substantial investments in renewable energy. 

Mr. Miliband highlighted the disparity between the UK and other nations, questioning why the UK hasn’t capitalised on its offshore wind resources as effectively.
