<\/p>\nBORIS Johnson vowed to take Britain on a technological and green revolution in the 2020s.<\/p>\n
The PM used his first stump speech of the General Election campaign to unveil his upbeat plan to turbo-charge the nation\u2019s cutting-edge industries.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
He promised a multibillion-pound package of Government investment in transformative technologies.<\/p>\n
The Tory leader compared Britain to a \u201cracehorse trying to run on three legs\u201d because it has \u201cso much more potential waiting to be unleashed\u201d.<\/p>\n
But the PM pointed out it was all dependent on the Conservatives winning a Commons majority and first getting Brexit done.<\/p>\n
The skills, innovation and green revolution he unveiled includes:<\/p>\n
Mr Johnson\u2019s green push is a bid to woo younger voters who care passionately about climate change \u2014 and Lib Dem voters in the hope they will back the Tories to keep out Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.<\/p>\n
His major announcements were welcomed by campaigners.<\/p>\n
Greenpeace UK\u2019s executive director John Sauven said the offshore wind target\u2019s shift from 30GW to 40GW \u201cis genuinely significant\u201d. And to draw a stark contrast to his rival for power Mr Corbyn, the PM heralded buccaneering businesses.<\/p>\n
Mr Johnson addressed factory workers who make electric black cabs at the London Electric Vehicle Company in Coventry.<\/p>\n
He told them: \u201cWhen people get up at the crack of dawn to get their business ready, when people take out a mortgage for a new venture, when people have the guts to put a new product on the market, we don\u2019t sneer, we cheer for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
He warned if voters put Mr Corbyn into No10, \u201cLabour would be an economic disaster for this country because they would delay Brexit yet again\u201d.<\/p>\n
But if he is allowed to pass his new Brexit deal and take the UK out of the EU on January 31, Boris said: \u201cThere is now a pent-up tidal wave of new investment \u2014 tens of billions more that could come to this country in the next few months.\u201d<\/p>\n
And he urged voters to \u201cimagine what the country could be like in just ten years as a result of the decisions we are taking now\u201d.<\/p>\n
He promised it would be \u201ca Britain where the streets are safer, where the air is cleaner\u201d, and \u201cthe greatest place to live, to breathe, to be, to raise kids, to start a business \u2014 the greatest place on Earth\u201d.<\/p>\n
