Absolutely loved this episode- inspired me to rewild my back garden. I’ll let you know how that goes!
Really well structured, researched, great speakers. Just listened to the episode on shared ownership of renewables. So much I didn’t know before.
Learn a lot about the complexity and pitfalls of local energy systems, decarbonisation and just transition. Optimism shines through and inspires, despite the enormous frustrations evident. The ordinary householder will not understand it all, but they should try to …it’s important.

Really wide-ranging discussion with people at the heart of local and national systems. A must-listen for people wanting to join the dots between local energy, net zero and just transitions. Top stuff.
