British PM Gordon Brown has unveiled plans to create first green cities geared towards electric cars in drive to create 400,000 new jobs. His environmentally friendly Budget later this month is designed to kick start a “green recovery” - including the mass introduction of electric cars in Britain.

The British Green Electric Car Dream Begins

The attempt is to catapult Britain into a world leader status producing and exporting electric cars, hybrid petrol-electric vehicles and lighter cars using less petrol, creating two to three green cities and populating them with a national network of battery recharging centres. New car owners will literally get up to £2,000 for trading in a polluting older car for a cleaner new vehicle.

Key to the British economic recovery is the drive to achieve a low carbon economy with the country spending about 50% more on environmentally friendly goods and services at about £1.5bn in the next few years, with the bulk as incentives to help the car industry become a market leader across the world for electric and hybrid cars. Already plans are put into action with a £340m loan to Jaguar Land Rover to develop green vehicles, with a further £373m to be split between Nissan’s plants in Sunderland and Spain.

The immense investments made today are expected to create a whole new and different type of economy when it emerges into recovery. Green Jobs which seemed jobs of the future have become jobs today, and with a much lighter carbon footprint easily achievable with the advent of the Made in Britain Electric Car, the green revolution has Finally Begun.

With 400,000 jobs being created to jump start the electric car dream, and a whole new industry which is sustainable over the long term, as well as cutting its carbon footprint by 50%, there is hope of a better and greener Britain tomorrow.

It is no wonder that Mr Brown is so determined to move the environmental agenda forward.
