Calum Macdonald and Kirsty Buchanan discuss various topics related to the upcoming election. They talk about the length of the campaign, the impact of polling, and the challenges faced by the Conservative Party. Kirsty also shares her experience at her son's school and discusses the views of children on politics. Adam Bell, former Energy SpAd and now Director of Policy at Stonehaven joins. We explore energy policy in the UK and the different approaches of the political parties. The main themes include the division between parties on how to tackle climate change, the feasibility of decarbonising the grid by 2030, the challenges of infrastructure development, the role of community benefits, the potential for judicial reviews, the need for a skilled workforce, the political consensus on net zero, the purpose of a state-owned energy company, and the fiscal rules and investment needed for the energy transition.
