Disappointment as climate sceptic Jacob Rees-Mogg named new Energy Secretary - EnvironmentJournalhttps://environmentjournal.online/articles/disappointment-as-climate-sceptic-jacob-rees-mogg-named-new-energy-secretary/New Prime Minister Liz Truss has appointed climate sceptic Jacob Rees-Mogg to lead on issues relating to energy and the climate crisis, sparking concern amongst climate campaigners.
Rees-Mogg, who invests in oil and coal mining through a fund he co-founded, Somerset Capital Management, has also rejected calls for a windfall tax on energy companies ‘so they can get every last drop out of the North Sea.’
Friends of the Earth’s head of political affairs, Dave Timms, said: ‘Putting someone who recently suggested “every last drop” of oil should be extracted from the North Sea in charge of energy policy is deeply worrying for anyone concerned about the deepening climate emergency, solving the cost-of-living crisis and keeping our fuel bills down for good.
