Summary

Labour says it will harness the sun, wind, and waves to deliver clean energy by 2030. It’s a very ambitious plan, to say the least, but one Sir Keir Starmer says can only do good. Is it achievable? Will it save the world? And is it even any different from what the other political parties are offering? Luke Murphy is the associate director for energy, climate, housing and infrastructure at Institute for Public Policy Research – he joins Chris Jones in the Bunker. “Younger people want to see us leaving a better planet for their children and grandchildren, and we’re not on course for that.“ – Luke Murphy. “The public has a huge appetite for change, ahead of what is currently possible.” – Luke Murphy “The public recognises that green energy is a route to help them with the cost of living.” – Luke Murphy www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Chris Jones.
