LONDON, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Britain will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, five year earlier than its previous plan, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Wednesday.
Unveiling his 10-point plan for a "green industrial revolution", Johnson said Britain will mobilize more than 12 billion pounds (around 15.9 billion U.S. dollars) of government investment, alongside three times that amount from the private sector by 2030, to build up "the green economy" backing up to 250,000 jobs.
