The Express reports:
The Chancellor attacked plans backed by Labour to eliminate carbon from the power sector by 2030.
He argued that for an aluminium smelter to leave the UK and go to another country would not make much difference to climate change.
But it would make a “huge difference” to those who lost their jobs as a result, he said.

Sound advice – unfortunately we have politicians in charge of this, so it’s bound to end badly.

This is good advice for all countries!
Smart man….I hope they listen to his advice. The investors are the only ones who benefit by the faux-green scam!
The aluminium smelter at Foyers has already left the country in 1967. The one at Kinlochleven in 1995. It seems strange to have smelters in a place that does not have its own bauxite. It only made sense when energy and transportation were both cheap and now neither one is.
