answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2022 answer text <p>Putin’s illegal and brutal invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated to countries the dangers of relying on fossil fuels controlled by a hostile actor. Countries now understand the benefits of low-cost, homegrown renewables, the price of which cannot be manipulated from afar. Climate and environmental security are now synonymous with energy and national security. And it is clear that our long-term energy futures do not lie in fossil fuels.</p><p>I am pleased that governments are responding by accelerating the transition to clean power. Here in the UK, we have recently published our Energy Security Strategy, to turbocharge our deployment of wind, of solar, of nuclear, and of hydrogen.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 27/06/2022 12:26:22 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
