Investment in renewable and nuclear energy will help cut pollution, lower energy bills and protect the country, a Shropshire MP has said.
Shaun Davies MP told the House of Commons on July 14 that tackling climate change is a "top topic" amongst children and young people in Telford, after vising schools and colleges in the region.
00:01Tackling climate change is a top topic amongst children and young people when I visit schools and colleges across Salford
00:08Switching to renewables is a top topic amongst employers who want to reduce the cost of supply to their energy
00:14Renewable companies tell me about the fantastic well-paid jobs that are available
00:18Climate security, environment security and energy security is national security
00:23Does my right hon. Friend believe us have a single reason as to why this is not a key mission to rebuild Britain and protect our planet for generations to come?
00:33Secretary of State
00:34I think my hon. Friend is absolutely right and I think this emphasis that he makes on national security is so important
00:40Our exposure to fossil fuel markets controlled by petro-states and dictators leaves us frankly exposed
00:47That is what the last government did, this is an energy security issue, it is a national security issue
