His green ideas may get out of favor within Labor, now that the government desperately tries to find a way to grow the economy, but Ed Miliband can still count on at least one friend in a high place.
The Minister of Energy is embarrassed about his diligent aim to achieve the Net Zero objectives after ministers, including Rachel Reeves, had prepared the construction of a third runway at Heathrow airport.
Miliband, the former Labor leader, is still popular with one of the jet settings, an important public figure: King Charles.
It is said that the environmentally conscious monarch finds the efforts of Mr. Miliband to make Great Britain greener, 'loved'.
The Times reported today that the King had praised Mr. Miliband and his work against another high Labor figure.
Charles's environmental consciousness is known. Last November Mr. Miliband was one of the ministers, campaigners and business leaders who attended an international sustainability reception that he organized in Buckingham Palace.
Other attendees included Minister of Foreign Affairs David Lammy and Minister of Environment Steve Reed.

The Minister of Energy, who was a pronounced critic of Heathrow's expansion when he was a party leader, said that the idea that he would leave if the expansion would take place was 'ridiculous'.

However, the mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, indicated that he will continue his opposition to the plan and warned that a third runway is incompatible with the protection of the planet.
It is expected that Mrs. Reeves will use a speech about growth next week to support the plan, as well as an expansion of Gatwick and Luton.
Earlier this week she said that stimulating the economy should surpass the struggle from Labor to Netto Zero.
In the clearest statement so far about the new priorities of the government, the Chancellor said that projects that could stimulate growth should not be stopped because they could “add something to CO2 emissions in twenty years.”
When asked if she would choose to give priority to the economy or to tackle climate change, she said that growth was her 'mission number one', and added: “It is clearly the most important thing.”

Her support has caused questions to rise about whether her fellow cabinet members will keep in line with the extension of West-London airport.
Seven cabinet members, including Sir Keir Starmer, Mr. Miliband and Mr. Reed, have previously voted against the plan.
Van Miliband was expected to be the most pronounced critic of the government, but he maintained that he would not stop because of yesterday's decision.
When asked if he is considering resigning when the plans continue, he said, “Don't be so ridiculous, no.”
Buckingham Palace has been approached to comment.
