MP and Party
Position on Net Zero / Climate Change
  • MP commitment

    Recognises the issue of climate change and is a particular advocate of deep geothermal technology to reach net zero. *


    “Getting to net zero by 2050 will require us to pull every possible lever available. GB Energy needs to encompass the full thermodynamic meaning of the term energy, rather than focusing just on electricity. … there is one stand-out technology that will help us: geothermal energy, both shallow and deep.”

    “It was an extremely helpful meeting with Environment Agency senior officials to hear more about the sea defence project for Pevensey, Normans Bay and Cooden Beach. This project is vital to protect communities, businesses and infrastructure from the impact of climate change and rising sea levels.”
