This episode is brought to you by the Great Grid Upgrade from National Grid.

The Great Grid upgrade is the largest overhaul of the electricity grid in generations, connecting more clean, renewable wind power to you and all of the things that you do.

Energy lies at the heart of everything we do from powering this podcast right through to charging the devices that keep you up to date with the latest science news.

But the way we power

our lives is changing as we reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and increase clean energy

generation from sources like wind and solar. And here in the UK, the government has a target

1:04.8

to connect an extra 50 gigawatts of renewable wind power to our electricity grid by 2030. That would save the same amount of carbon

1:12.9

as taking 5.2 million cars off the road, and it's also nearly enough energy to power every home

1:19.5

and business in the UK today. So we need a future-ready electricity grid that can carry this

extra energy from where it's generated by wind turbines out in the

North Sea, for instance, to where it's needed in homes and businesses across the country. And that's where

1:34.2

the great grid upgrade comes in. It's the largest overhaul of the electricity grid in generations,

connecting more clean, renewable energy from where it's generated to where it's needed, continuing to power all the
