London – Britain announced a major investment on air electricity on Thursday as they organized an international summit with Europe and the United States to whether they need to relieve fossil fuels.
UK Prime Minister Care Starmer says the government will invest £ 300 million ($ 400 million) to increase Britain’s capabilities for the offshore air industry, which is a step that hopes that the UK will encourage private investment in the renewable power sector.
The price of energy and the Russia-Ukraine war has forced European leaders to think strictly about world power protection, which depends on their Russian natural gas. Ukraine has stopped supplying Russian gas to European customers through its pipeline network in January.
“Our country and our citizens are weak and open until the power weapons are made against us,” said Ed Milliband representatives of the United Kingdom.
He said that “low-carbon energy” was a way to slow down climate change as well as protection of energy.
Britain now has more than half of its electricity from renewable sources such as air and solar power and the rest of the natural gas and nuclear power. It aims to generate all the strengths of the UK from the renewable source by 2030.
The last Coal-based power plant in the UK was closed last year, the end of the 12-year-old coal-stricken electricity in a country where the Industrial Revolution has spread.
Other European countries, including Germany and France, have promised to produce more air energy and some are producing coal.
The Trump administration is doing the opposite-increasing cola, canceling financing for climate-friendly projects and prioritizing fossil fuels, including canceling finances at the air industry.
Tommy Joyce, acting secretary of the United States for international issues, told the participants that they “should be honest in the world’s growing energy need, not to focus on net-zero politics.”
He said the principles that pressed on “harmful and dangerous” on fossil fuels and claimed that air turbines needed to “be forced from China” for the building because it supplies rare minerals.
Organized by the British Government and the International Energy Organization, at the two -day summit, 60 countries, senior officials of the European Union, the chief executive officer of the energy sector, the head of the international organizations and the non -profit of the non -profit strength of the government together to determine the solutions to the government ministers.
