爱德·米利班德能源安全和净零能源部(Net Zero)尽管支持可再生能源,但根据信息自由数据,怀特霍尔总部的电力是化石燃料。 Ed Miliband’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero, despite championing renewable energy, has its Whitehall headquarters powered by fossil fuels, according to Freedom of Information data. 80%以上政府用电来自石油和天然气, Over 80% of government electricity comes from oil and gas, with the department citing cost-effectiveness for its choice. 批评者称这一举动为虚伪之举,特别是因为一些公共机构已经转向更绿色的能源。 Critics call the move hypocritical, especially as some public bodies have switched to greener energy. 该部门指出,自2017/18年以来,直接排放下降了15%,自2024年以来,私人清洁能源投资下降了620亿英镑,但政策与实践之间的差距引发了人们对政府气候承诺的怀疑。 The department notes a 15% drop in direct emissions since 2017/18 and over £62 billion in private clean energy investment since 2024, but the gap between policy and practice fuels skepticism about the government’s climate commitments.
