Recorded live at the Energy Institute Young Professionals’ Regeneration event at Hackney Town Hall, this episode captures a single keynote-style panel in which young energy professionals debate one central question: has the public been sold an unrealistically painless version of the energy transition?
Across policy, law, engineering, analysis and start-ups, speakers take turns building and challenging arguments on net zero, energy security and rising consumer bills, while responding to audience interventions and moments from the room as the discussion unfolds.
In this week’s episode, they explore whether the transition is being misrepresented, where the costs are really falling and how the trade-offs between affordability, industry and decarbonisation are being communicated.
Speakers include:
Connor Innes - Chair, Young Energy Professionals Forum
Martin Okorowu - International Student, University of East London (Proposition)
Karim Arnous - Founder, Neura Energy (Proposition)
Emily Wadsworth - Senior Policy Officer, Energy Networks Association (Opposition)
Daniel Chocontá Bernal - Project Manager, Energy & Power at Jacobs (Opposition)
