As part of The Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, with a total budget of 12 billion GBP, the Prime Minister announced point 5 as an incentive to increase greener urban mobility, through increased usage of public transport and greater usage of bikes and pedestrian means of circulation.

Tens of billions GBP in enhancements and renewals of the rail network, 4.2 billion GBP in city public transport and 5 billion GBP on buses, cycling and walking, following the PM's announcement in February 2020.

120 million GBP in 2021 for the development of at least 4000 more British built zero emissions buses (12% local operator bus fleet in England), with the publication of the National Bus Strategy in 2021, funded through the 5 billion GBP budget. Also fund at least 2 all-electric bus towns, beginning in 2020 and developing the first fully zero-emission city centre.

Expand rail routes around big regional cities, including Manchester and Brimingham. Progress the Midlands Rail Hub scheme in Birmingham and improvements in Manchester and Leeds, alongside Northern Powerhouse Rail to improve east-west links across the Pennines.

Build additional miles of cycle lanes, expand school streets with 250 million GBP in 2020 as part of the PM's announcement to spend 2 billion over this Parliament. Active Travel England, will hold the budget, inspect schemes and assess local authorities for their performance on active travel. Also launch a national programme of support to increase uptake of electric bikes.

Expected results:

3000 new jobs by 2025

government investment of 5 billion GBP in buses, cycling and walking

savings of around 2 MtCO2e from green buses, cycling and walking between 2023 and 2032.

Early 2021: National Bus Strategy and first electric bus town

2021: first of 4000 new zero-emission buses delivered

2023-2024: first rail lines opened

2025: cycle training available to every school child and adult

by 2025: double cycling rates from 2013 levels to 1.6 billion stages per year.

Energy Security, Not Climate Goals, Is Now Driving the Clean Power Boom

While ships are beginning to trickle through the Strait of Hormuz after months of near-total closure, it will be a very long time before the effects of this year’s energy crisis fade from the global economy – if they ever do. This latest round of turmoil in global oil and gas markets has catalyzed clean energy adoption to a degree that may permanently alter the global energy landscape, as well as the way that we conceive of energy security and geopolitical strategy. It is extremely telling that, against the backdrop of the United States…

Iraq Is Keeping Its Syria Oil Route—Even If Hormuz Reopens

Nobody, especially not Iraq, wants to be caught relying on Hormuz ever again. Iraq is preparing to export crude oil and naphtha through Syria's Mediterranean port of Baniyas, expanding an emergency workaround that emerged after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted the country's primary export routes and left storage tanks filling up. According to Reuters, Iraqi officials say the strategy will remain in place even after shipping through Hormuz returns to normal. That alone says plenty. Iraq normally exports around 3.6 million barrels of…

China Is Taking Its AI Boom Under the Sea

The data centre industry has taken off in the last few years, as tech companies look to develop the massive computing power needed to run complex operations, such as artificial intelligence. Thousands of data centres are being developed on land, but now, some countries are looking to establish innovative models in alternative locations, such as underwater. In May, China launched the world’s first wind-powered underwater data centre off the coast of Shanghai, with an investment of around $238 million. The 24 MW-capacity Shanghai Lingang undersea…

Why Small Modular Reactors Are Becoming a National Security Priority

For decades, energy policy in Washington was debated on the basis of economics, climate change, and domestic politics. That era is over. The United States is entering a period where energy security must be recognized as a core pillar of national security and military readiness. The global competition underway with China is not just about trade or tariffs. It is about industrial capacity, technological dominance, artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductor manufacturing, and defense production - all of which depend on a foundational requirement:…
