What will energy look like in 2035? [Clean Energy Pod #14]

Описание: Hundreds of billions of pounds will have to be invested over the next few years to achieve net zero, but where should this be spent, and how fast can we get there?

In this episode of the Clean Energy Pod, powered by SSE, we talk to the ‪National Infrastructure Commission's Director of Policy, Margaret Read. Margaret shares with us what infrastructure and policy changes are required to deliver clean power.
