"It's time for innovation, not protecting the status quo." Saint John is at a pivotal moment, and this election could shape our city's future in ways that affect us all. In my latest article, Saint John Energy at a Crossroads, I delve into why this election is so crucial for SJE and our community. From supporting Saint John Energy to advocating for tax reform, we need leaders who see us as partners, not grounded children. Let's make sure our voices are heard! Get engaged, read the article, and vote for the future of our city. https://lnkd.in/guZGuZXH

#ManifestoWatch🗳️🔍 ♻️The Lib Dems kicked off the manifesto launches today with their #netzero policies. Here are some highlights: • Decoupling electricity prices from wholesale gas prices. • Eliminating unfair regional differences in domestic energy bills. • Establish a new Net Zero Delivery Authority. • Decentralise decision-making from Whitehall and Westminster. • Drive a rooftop solar revolution by expanding incentives for households to install solar panels, including a guaranteed fair price for electricity sold back into the grid.  • Invest in renewable power so that 90% of the UK’s electricity is generated from renewables by 2030.  • Appoint a Chief Secretary for Sustainability in the Treasury to ensure that the economy is sustainable, resource-efficient and zero-carbon.
