This is big, very big.
If the UK can manage to get all its electricity from clean sources by 2035, it will set a precedent for the world.
The framing - it will make us less vulnerable to gas / oil price shocks - is spot on too

Politically, Labour should have been making these kind of targeted, bold promises.
Instead we make vague promises about spending billions and arguing about the 'green new deal' (which the public know FA about). 😞

Yes, but it will have an impact regardless.
It sets targets for solar and wind industry, which helps them. More money will start to flow towards solar + wind.
Also puts coal and gas on notice - which will affect their investment and funding.

My feeling is that 'nuclear' has been thrown in there merely to reassure people. Most of the heavy lifting and new investment will be into wind and solar power.
Also suspect UK will start importing solar + wind power from other countries (Africa, Europe) via cables.
