Britain’s main opposition party said on Monday that it would overturn a ban on new onshore wind farms while respecting any oil and gas licences granted before the next election
Britain’s main opposition Labour Party on Monday pledged to turn the country into a clean energy superpower by 2030, saying it would overturn a ban on new onshore wind farms while respecting any oil and gas licences granted before the next election.
However, earlier this month it pared back its flagship pledge to spend £28-billion every year until the end of the decade on building up green industries, blaming high interest rates. The party would also overturn the ban on new onshore wind farms which Labour says has added £5.1-billion to energy bills, or £182 per household, because Britain has been forced to turn to more expensive power.
“We’re going to throw everything at this: planning reform, procurement, long-term finance, R&D, a strategic plan for skills and supply chains.”
