Leading Economist Calls for Major UK Investment in Green Energy

Nicholas Stern, a former senior Treasury economist, says the UK should spend an extra £40–50 billion every year on clean energy, transport, and infrastructure. He's urging Ed Miliband to take a senior role overseeing this spending. Stern's influence matters: his influential 2006 report argued that failing to act on climate costs far more later. This isn't just a budget tweak—it would reshape how Britain spends money.
