Telegraph, 06 Aug 2021
Boris Johnson has promised a "smooth and sensible" shift from fossil fuels to renewable power, adding that Margaret Thatcher's closure of coal mines had given the UK an "early start".
The Prime Minister, who was visiting an offshore wind farm on the final day of his trip to Scotland, said there were "massive opportunities" to increase the use of green technology.
The visit comes ahead of the Cop26 international climate summit in Glasgow in November, with Mr Johnson insisting he wanted it to be "ambitious" in its aims.
