Experts are pushing back against claims linking Ed Miliband and the net zero target to the UK's steel crisis. Following the passing of emergency legislation regarding Scunthorpe's steel plant, some politicians attributed the challenges to the energy secretary's policies. Yet experts, including Prof. Rob Gross, clarify that the rising energy prices affecting steel production stem from external market fluctuations, arguing that the clean energy transition could actually stabilize long-term energy costs and support the steel industry, rather than hinder it.
Experts dismiss claims that net zero policies are to blame for the UK's steel crisis, asserting that energy prices are influenced by broader market fluctuations.
Prof. Rob Gross emphasized that while energy prices impact steel producers, net zero initiatives could ultimately lead to a more stable and affordable energy future.
