Labour's flagship policy of its election campaign was GB Energy. A phrase that would have pricked the ears of anyone who cared about getting off fossil fuels and combating climate change. With the government keeping its cards close to its chest we put together a crack team of guests who can breakdown what GB Energy could be and how it should develop to really build a just transition.
This week Andrew is joined by Melanie Brusseler from Common Wealth, Ellie Radcliffe from Carbon Co-op and Keir Milburn from Abundance to discuss how GB Energy is shaping up.
We discuss the current problems with the UK energy system, the resources committed to GB energy and if its a good start, how the governments response to industrial decline so far will inform their approach to the energy transition and how to keep people in the picture when it comes to energy.
