We've found the following climate-related tweets, speeches & votes by Michael Shanks

• 17 Feb 2026: Tweet

  Nonsense. Or bollocks if you prefer. 1. There’s no future energy scenario that doesn’t involve infrastructure cost. That’s not net zero that’s just building any energy system. Gas costs too. 2. We don’t own oil/gas in the North Sea we buy it in a market same as everyone else. https://twitter.com/jamesmelville/status/2023843703442342071 [Source]

• 17 Feb 2026: Tweet

  The Tories and Reform want to keep us tied to fossil fuels we don’t control. Labour’s clean power mission will bring down your bill, protect our energy security, create thousands of new jobs and tackle the climate crisis. https://x.com/mgshanks/status/2023786600216592420/video/1 [Source]

• 27 Jan 2026: Tweet

  New nuclear would ensure Scotland’s homegrown energy security in an uncertain world, decarbonise electricity and deliver thousands of good, skilled jobs across the country. The SNP say no to all of that. https://twitter.com/bbcscotlandnews/status/2016050311056503076 [Source]

• 09 Jan 2026: Tweet

  The public back action to tackle climate change - much more than we think. But a lot of misinformation and vested interests loudly shouts down the majority. But tackling climate change is also the economic opportunity of the century and how we maintain energy security. https://x.com/mgshanks/status/2009605375935627776/video/1 [Source]

• 03 Jan 2026: Tweet

  When it comes to talking shite I’ll trust the near-universal scientific consensus on the human-made climate crisis and the 80,000+ evidence based studies over random Twitter people any day of the week. https://twitter.com/trevnonumber/status/2007529969656934464 [Source]

• 02 Jan 2026: Tweet

  2025 was a record breaking year for cheaper wind and solar and 2026 will see even more of this. Our mission is clean power by 2030 - to maintain our energy security, bring down bills, create thousands of new jobs and tackle the climate crisis. https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/2007059913873207566 [Source]

• 12 Dec 2025: Tweet

  5⃣ Those who would leave the British public exposed are those who oppose the clean energy sprint, which is the only way to give us energy security, bring down bills, create jobs, and avoid the spiralling costs of the climate crisis. [Source]

• 12 Dec 2025: Tweet

  4⃣ The report is clear that clean energy means energy security. Fossil fuel shocks caused half of recessions since the 1970s. In 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, gas price spikes cost the UK an extra 1.8% GDP. In NESO's net zero pathway, a similar shock in 2050 would cost 0.3%. [Source]

• 12 Dec 2025: Tweet

  3⃣ When factoring in carbon costs, NESO finds that costs are £36bn cheaper annually if we hit our 2050 goals compared to a scenario where the UK slows its climate action. [Source]

• 12 Dec 2025: Tweet

  2⃣ The report doesn’t say that a net zero pathway is more expensive, it says when you account for carbon costs, “the holistic transition pathway is the cheapest from 2025 to 2050” with “enduring savings beyond 2050.” [Source]

• 12 Dec 2025: Tweet

  1⃣ The report doesn’t say that net zero will increase long term energy-related costs, it says it will significantly CUT them: “costs could drop from about 10% of GDP in 2025 to around 5-6% by 2050.” [Source]

• 23 Nov 2025: Tweet

  Of course we can always hope for greater ambition. But 190 countries signed a deal and I’m glad the UK was represented by Ed and a team fighting for a plan to tackle the climate crisis and not our opponents who would throw in the towel and diminish the UK’s role in the world. https://twitter.com/ed_miliband/status/1992513741796360238 [Source]

• 16 Nov 2025: Tweet

  The North Seas offer a huge opportunity for renewable energy if we collaborate with our European neighbours. It was great to join Energy Ministers from across North Sea countries in Ostend, Belgium recently to discuss greater cooperation. https://x.com/mgshanks/status/1990137299665920126/photo/1 [Source]

  Renewables in ???????????????????????????? are paid for by consumers across the UK. Grid upgrades, CCUS, hydrogen and energy storage in ???????????????????????????? - all backed by UK investment.

  Industry is not at odds with the clean energy transition. @hd_materialsUK, the UK's first carbon capture cement plant has signed contracts to begin construction, supporting 500 skilled jobs & removing 1.2m tonnes of CO₂ a year. Tackling the climate crisis & supporting jobs. https://x.com/mgshanks/status/1971171790690058624/photo/1 [Source]

• 24 Sep 2025: Tweet

  We are a step closer to building Britain's first major long duration electricity storage projects in FORTY years. By scaling up storage we can maximise our clean, home-grown, renewable energy and end our reliance on costly, fossil fuels markets for good. https://twitter.com/ofgem/status/1970403591828525211 [Source]

• 17 Sep 2025: Tweet

  Clean power is the economic opportunity of the century, and onshore wind is a vital part of that. For energy security, industrial development, jobs and climate leadership - onshore wind is pivotal. That was my message at the @RenewableUK and @ScotRenew Onshore Wind conference. https://x.com/mgshanks/status/1968284063363702853/photo/1 [Source]

  Tested to death in focus groups? The ever thoughtful gang at Net Zero Watch massively overstate the operation behind my Twitter… ???? The truth, since you ask, is that getting off fossil fuels is the only way to protect bills and deliver energy security. No focus group required. https://twitter.com/netzerowatch/status/1961560260566536194 [Source]

• 28 Aug 2025: Tweet

  3/ With demand and generation increases, we're going to need an ever stronger grid whether we pursue clean power and net zero or not. Those who oppose that infrastructure have to say how they will meet future demand for electricity, otherwise they are anti economic growth. [Source]

• 10 Jul 2025: Tweet

  During the recent Spending Review the Chancellor committed £9.4billion to UK carbon capture projects, including £200m to progress the Acorn Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) scheme in Scotland. This will deliver thousands of skilled jobs and help reduce our carbon emissions. https://x.com/mgshanks/status/1943354788227195169/photo/1 [Source]
