The UK must stop “funding Putin’s war machine” and launch a Northern-led green energy revolution, a North East mayor has urged.
Jamie Driscoll has joined with other leaders in calling for the region to be at the forefront of a renewed push to develop clean technologies that will cut a reliance on fossil fuels, including those from Russia, and fight climate change.
The North of Tyne mayor said that the North East “is ready to play its part in accelerating the change”, citing huge investments in the Dogger Bank wind farm and in electric car battery plants in Sunderland and Blyth.
