Now, for decades we have been told that we must choose between the environment and the economy, and that is, and has always been, a false choice. A zero-carbon economy will help to create cleaner and more vibrant and safer communities in every part of our country. It will connect our towns and our cities with frequent and fast trains and buses and roads free of congestion. It will create green jobs that pay people enough to provide for their families and to put a roof over their heads. It will support innovation and new investment in clean-tech, high-value industries. And the Opposition wants to delay all of those things for yet another year on top of the 30 years of delay that we have endured so far.
