This week Antony attended a conference hosted by Electricity North West to speak about the benefits for Lancashire in moving to Net-Zero and how this transition is part of the levelling up agenda he wants to see for Burnley and Padiham.
This comes at the same time as the Prime Minister announces a new ambitious 10 Point Plan for our Green Industrial Revolution.
✅ Offshore wind to power every 🏠 home, supporting up to 6000 new jobs.
✅ Developing the first town heated entirely by hydrogen by the end of the decade.
✅ Advancing nuclear as a clean source of energy.
✅ Backing our 🚘 car manufacturers to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles.
✅ Investing in 🚍 public transport, 🚴 cycling and 🚶walking.
✅ Supporting industries to become greener in zero-emission ✈️ planes and 🚢 ships.
✅ Making our homes, schools and hospitals greener, whilst creating 50,000 jobs by 2030.
✅ Become a world leader in ♻️ carbon capture.
✅ Planting 30,000 hectares of 🌳 trees every year to protect our environment.
✅ Making the City of London the global centre of green finance. The plan – which is part of the PM’s mission to level up across the country - will mobilise £12 billion of government investment to create and support up to 250,000 highly-skilled green jobs in the UK, and spur over three times as much private sector investment by 2030.
