<p>Labour’s 10-year plan for a “green industrial revolution” will also bring regeneration funds to coastal towns, the party leader said.</p>
<p>The “crucial” wind farms will be built with a mix of public and private money, Mr Corbyn said, and will increase the UK’s capacity for wind energy five-fold, providing energy for 57 million households.</p>
<p>Speaking as he visited a wind turbine facility near Southampton on Wednesday, Mr Corbyn said: <em>“We have to do everything we can to reduce emissions in order to protect our natural world and our environment.”</em></p>
<p>He made his comments on the third day of Extinction Rebellion climate change protests in London, adding: <em>“The costs of wind turbines are coming down.</em></p>
<p><em>“They are the future. We need to increase the amount of wind generation.”</em></p>
<p>The project, which Labour said will be worth £83 billion over 10 years, will see 20% of its public profits pumped into coastal regeneration.</p>
<p>The funds, estimated at between £600 million and £1 billion per year, will be spent on projects decided by the communities.</p>
<p>Mr Corbyn said: <em>“Holiday patterns have completely changed – they (coastal communities) need income, they need refurbishment, they need regeneration and they need jobs.</em></p>
<p><em>“The local community will decide how it’s spent.</em></p>
<p><em>“A library, a park, a youth centre, a nursery.</em></p>
<p><em>“People in small towns usually know what’s best for them.”</em></p>
<p>However, the Conservatives have criticised Labour’s plans and said they would risk jobs.</p>
<p>Energy Minister Kwasi Kwarteng said: <em>“Even Labour’s own supporters have described their plan as ‘utterly unachievable’, showing how Corbyn would risk jobs across the country.</em></p>
<p><em>“Why would any investor put money into a nationalised wind farm?”</em></p>
