London: As part of the government's objective to level the country, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that a green industrial revolution will produce high-wage and high-skill jobs across the country.
"Another revolution, a green industrial revolution, is on the horizon. Again, there are other areas in which we benefit from being first to market "On Monday, Johnson spoke at the annual conference of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI). "Electric cars are also becoming cheaper all across the world. And the tipping point was reached two weeks ago in Glasgow, when motor manufacturers representing a third of the global market - including the EU and America - announced that they would switch to electric vehicles by 2035 "he stated.
The UK's sales of electric vehicles are now increasing at 70 per cent a year, Boris Johnson said. New residences and buildings will be obliged to include EV charging stations, with an additional 145,000 charging stations to be erected in the run-up to 2030, when the country's new petrol and diesel car sales will halt, he added.
In 2012, the United Kingdom was still 40 percent reliant on coal for electricity. Only ten years later, coal provides less than 2 percent of British power, and Johnson predicts that by 2024, it will be completely depleted.
