A Green Road Out Of The Recession
December 20, 2008 4:24 PM
Recession - clearly, Labour isn't working
This week, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg announced the "Green Road out of the Recession", which outlines how a Liberal Democrat government would inject a green stimulus into the economy, both to provide jobs and investment now and to ensure our economy is sustainable in the future.
The proposals include:
A five-year programme to insulate every school and hospital
Funding insulation and energy efficiency for a million homes, with a £1,000 subsidy for a million more
Building 40,000 extra zero-carbon social houses
Buying 700 new train carriages
Reopening old railway lines and stations, opening new ones, electrifying the Great Western and Midland mainlines and beginning the Liverpool light rail network
Installing energy and money saving smart meters in every home within five years
Only the Liberal Democrats have the smart and effective policies to take Britain out of recession.
