The National Grid has issued a warning to the UK to recruit 100,000 people to fulfill the green energy roles. If the government fails to recruit the necessary people for the energy plan then the target for 2050 cannot be achieved. To make the country’s emission zero, the Britain must employ 120,000 people. Furthermore, the number is expected to reach 400,000 by 2050.
