A policy essay by Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland MP Simon Clarke has proposed allowing fresh deployment of onshore wind, where there is community support. The essay was part of a series published by the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) on Tuesday 15 May, intended to outline “practical policy suggestions intended to speak to young voters’ concerns.” Clarke also advocated the re-powering of existing windfarms, embracing carbon capture and storage, and ending EU tariffs on solar panels. Another essay by the Conservative Environment Network’s Isabella Gornall called for the adoption of a net zero emissions target and greater roll-out of electric vehicle infrastructure.
