Hi All,
The UK's Liberal Democrats have launched their manifesto for the 6 May general election, outlining a one-year "green stimulus" plan for job creation and sustainable economic growth.
Key Note:
Within the one-year green stimulus, the LibDems proposed measures that they said would lead to the creation of 100,000 jobs. The biggest one was GBP 400m (USD 618m) earmarked for refurbishing shipyards in the north of England and Scotland so that they could "manufacture offshore wind turbines and other marine renewable energy equipment". This is a measure much larger than the GBP 60m (USD 93m) for the same purpose announced earlier by the Labour Party.
