Reform vs. Renewables: Is the UK's Green Future at Risk?
Manage episode 487471138 series 2385753
Stepping outside my usual perspective, I dive into the political arena to examine Reform UK’s campaign against net zero, electrification, and clean energy. Joined by clean tech expert Quentin Wilson and Dan Caesar from EV UK and Everything Electric, we dissect Reform’s stance.
We explore Reform’s economic skepticism and their leanings toward fossil fuels. Quentin challenges the “net zero” framing, while Dan counters with evidence of a surge in green jobs. As Reform gains traction in local elections, I reflect on the anger fueling their populist rhetoric and why their Brexit-style playbook may stumble. We unpack their contradictory vision of “independence” and reaffirm our belief in renewables. Dan envisions a coalition fightback by 2028, and we agree: facts can defeat fear.
