| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the Fully Charged Show podcast where today we're talking about |
| 0:10.1 | wind and specifically we're asking if 40% of our power here in the UK comes from renewable sources, |
| 0:17.0 | why is it that the price of that electricity is dictated by gas 98% of the time. How do we move to a world in which we get to feel the benefits of lovely cheap, clean grid-scale energy reflected in our bills? |
| 0:31.6 | Well, very shortly, I'm going to be joined by Anna Mousart who is the |
| 0:35.1 | Executive Director of Policy and Engagement at Renewable UK. But before we get to her I |

| 1:15.1 | greatest in clean energy technology and of course speak to the experts to find |
| 1:20.0 | out what you need to do regardless of where you may be in your own personal clean energy transition. And of course we get to meet you which is wonderful because it's always good to hear from our lovely listeners and |
| 1:33.7 | viewers to find out what you care about really and all of the important details are in the |
| 1:35.0 | description below. And the third thing, I think this conversation warrants a |
| 1:41.3 | bit of a caveat and the reason being is that I would say on |
