An Atomic Awakening? Or Another Big Zzzzz?

At the recent COP conference, the UK, along with 21 other countries, promised to triple nuclear capacity by 2050.

Neil and Jonathan talk to Tim Stone, head of the UK's Nuclear Industry Association and a former adviser to five energy secretaries, about how to get nuclear done.Presented by Jonathan Ford and Neil Collins.With Tim Stone.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.In association with Briefcase.News Hosted on Acast.
