Net Zero Announcement: UK Sets Out Plans To Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions [1]

"Another big push towards electric vehicles is being made in the UK government's latest strategy to make the great shift to a virtually zero-carbon economy.

Ministers are investing £620m in grants for electric vehicles and street charging points.

Car makers will be mandated to sell a proportion of clean vehicles each year.

An extra £350m is promised to help the automotive supply chain move to electric."

Roger Harrabin reports for BBC News October 19, 2021. [2]
