Pick the planet
This year’s climate summit COP26 will be the world’s best chance of building a cleaner, greener future - COP26 President-Designate Alok Sharma in a major speech at Whitelee Windfarm, near Glasgow.
From:
Good morning from Whitelee wind farm.
The epicentre of UK onshore wind.
Where the turbines behind me, some twice the height of the epic Glasgow Cathedral, are powering practically every home in the city.
Where, beneath Scottish skies, every revolution of these enormous blades generates enough electricity to charge 300 mobile phones.
And it is a snapshot, friends, of the future that is within our grasp, if we act now, and we act together, to protect our precious planet.
