The British Prime Minister stresses that investing in nuclear energy and increasing electricity produced from clean sources will help combat the problem of high energy prices and transportation costs.
He said that by 2035 we could do all our energy production what we were doing with internal combustion engines starting in 2030. In the fall of 2020, the Johnson government announced a 10-point “green industrial revolution” plan, which assumes, among other things, a ban on the sale of new cars with internal combustion engines from 2030
– In 2030, it will not be possible to buy a new car with a hydrocarbon combustion engine, we will switch to clean energy of one type or another – Johnson said on Monday, when reporters asked him about the electricity plan.
He noted Great Britain’s progress in wind power generation.
We’re currently a world leader in offshore wind energy and we’re looking at what we can do with other renewable sources, carbon capture and storage, and possibly hydrogen, We believe we can achieve clean energy production by 2035 Johnson added.

According to a government report In the second quarter of 2021, electricity producers in Great Britain’s demand for coal soared to 330,000 tones.. The report’s authors acknowledge that this is twice as high as it was in the corresponding period of 2020, but that change came from a lower baseline after periods without coal generation. Another reason for the increased demand for coal is lower production from renewable sources and cooler weather in April and May.
