He said: "Seventy-five per cent of people support onshore wind, including a majority of Conservative voters. You're more likely to support them if you live near them." Asked if he had solar panels on his roof, Mr Miliband replied: "I don't. Partly because they got rid of the feed-in tariffs which made it economical. I am an electric car driver." Mr Miliband will attend next week's gathering for the Cop27 United Nations climate change meeting in Egypt. He said he was "glad" that Mr Sunak, the Prime Minister, had staged an 11th-hour rethink and will now attend. "I'm glad he's going - he's been shamed into it, frankly, hasn't he? [Boris] Johnson was going. His Cop chief Alok Sharma said 'you should be going'. "I think it shows what Rishi Sunak's instincts are. It's not really his thing. This isn't the thing he cares passionately about." 'I care about this' Mr Miliband praised Alok Sharma, the Government's climate change spokesman, saying that the pair were on "emoji texting terms". Mr Sharma has been "seized" by the need to help the environment, he said: "I get on very well with Alok. We are on 'emoji texting' terms. Last one was some smiley one." Asked if he was the "Al Gore" of British politics, he replied: "I care about this. It's one of the reasons I'm still in frontline politics. "If there's a Labour government and if I was appointed Secretary of State for Climate Net zero, I would have a chance to make a difference on this issue."

Labour’s shadow climate change secretary also insisted that people were happy to live near onshore wind farms
Labour’s pledge that all of the UK’s electricity will come from renewable and nuclear energy by 2030 will cut household bills, Ed Miliband has said.
Mr Miliband, the party’s shadow climate change secretary, also insisted that people were happy to live near onshore wind farms.
In an interview for this weekend’s Chopper’s Politics Podcast, which you can listen to using the audio player below, Mr Miliband said that it was in the interests of the new Sunak government to push harder for more green energy.
He said: “People are at home worrying about the energy bills and one of the surprising things was when Rishi Sunak said, ‘Well, I’ve got domestic things I need to worry about, not the climate crisis.’
