Airport expansion would cancel out carbon savings of clean power plan Proposed airport expansions a key test for this government's climate commitment

If the UK govt follows through on plans to expand Luton and Gatwick airports, it will wipe out the climate benefit of its world-leading Clean Power Plan 2030

➡️large to small
➡️centralised to decentralised

Of course this is simplified & highly stylised but it shows direction of travel.
