London (AFP) - Britain will aim to shift all of its energy production to renewable sources by the middle of the next decade, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday.
"Looking at what we can do with other renewable sources, carbon capture and storage, with hydrogen, potentially we think we can get to complete clean energy production by 2035," the UK leader told broadcasters.
The aspiration comes as he prepares to host world leaders next month at a crucial UN climate summit when they will be under unprecedented pressure to decarbonise economies and chart humanity's path away from catastrophic global warming.
Johnson's comments also coincide with rising wholesale gas prices globally, which in Britain have contributed to rocketing bills for consumers and fears of a cost-of-living crisis this winter.

I hope they like freezing in the dark....
The sheiks smile and the Russians build another pipeline.
You can’t run modern civilization on wind and solar. Can’t be done.
Enjoy freezing in the dark, UK.
Dark Ages II.
Don’t worry, we’ll follow them.
This guy turned out to be a real punk.
Solar power in Britain. Yea, that will work. sarc.
Right. Sure. The “aspiration”, as the article says. Meaning a hope or ambition of achieving something.
I hope to drink from the fountain of youth before 2035. MY aspiration, anyway.
Or as Greta Thunberg says, “Blah, blah, blah.”

If the Greenies get their way, some day this joke will come true.
Q. What did people use for light before candles?
A. Light bulbs.
“This guy turned out to be a real punk.”
This is the guy who, as mayor of London, decreased the number of traffic lanes in the city, added bike lanes and declared the traffic problems solved.
Boris, baby, put down the bong.
There are many trying hard to go down that road, no doubt.
It’s the poor who will be hurt worst by this. Energy poverty is already a thing in Europe.
Boris is such a pussy.
Did the West get together in a secret meeting and pick 2035 as the end of the World as we know it ? A bunch of countries keep talking about 2035
“You can’t run modern civilization on wind and solar. Can’t be done.”
I’m by no means a greenie. I love fossil fuels and nuclear power. To me global warming, if it’s happening, will bring about as many good things as bad things. Probably more good things.
But America in particular uses too much energy. Look at the roads and highways. People don’t live where they are. They go all over the place.
Our too-big house is always comfortable with gas heat and air conditioning. We’re all the time running to stores 15 miles away.
Mobility gives rise to great economic efficiency. Mobility takes energy.
Most people I know don’t live where they work since every city in the US has been destroyed by “them”.
Define “too much” energy.
Took the words right out of my mouth...
