The cost of NOT doing net zero [Clean Energy Pod #7]

Clean Energy Pod

On this episode of the Clean Energy Pod, powered by SSE, we chat with Juliette Sanders, AKA Killah Jules, Director of Strategic Communications at Energy UK. Energy UK is the trade body that represents the energy industry across the United Kingdom.
We'll delve into all things energy, infrastructure, and low carbon technologies, including the repercussions of not achieving net zero. We'll also reflect on the progress already made in the UK towards a cheaper, cleaner and more secure homegrown energy system.
This recording took place in May 2024, before the UK general election was announced.
