Episode description

Politicians are finally waking up to the folly of Net Zero. The Tories have called for drilling in the North Sea. Reform UK wants to lift the ban on fracking. But the UK’s Labour government remains totally committed to renewables, no matter the costs. Here, Kathryn Porter – energy consultant and founder of Watt-Logic – explains why Britain’s bet on wind power has proved so disastrous. The result is rising prices, deindustrialisation and even the risk of major blackouts. The time to change course, she says, is now.
