00:00 It's a good question, you know, in a number of different ways.
00:04 With GB Energy, our first publicly owned energy company for 75 years in Britain, we are going
00:11 to superpower what Sadiq is doing.
00:14 So our local power plan will mean hundreds of millions of pounds for London, working
00:19 with local authorities, working with Sadiq, and just going up on the roof here, you know,
00:24 you just see the difference this can make.
00:27 It's just such a no-brainer.
00:28 You put solar panels on the roof, it cuts the energy bills by thousands of pounds.
00:32 And I think we're still actually in the foothills of the kind of difference we can make.
00:38 People used to think about green as being a really important thing for our duties to
00:43 future generations, and that remains so.
00:45 We need to go faster.
00:47 But it's also now an argument for lower bills, for good jobs, and tackling the many pressures
00:54 that, for example, public services like schools face.
00:57 And I really look forward, if Sadiq is elected, and we take nothing for granted about that,
01:02 and if a Labour government is elected, and if I'm the Secretary of State, working with
01:05 him to drive forward this agenda.
