In this episode of Committee Corridor we continue our look into the cost of living crisis.
This week we’re focusing on energy security. The conflict in Ukraine created a profound shock to our energy supplies. It has driven up prices, putting people into fuel poverty. And it’s brought the UK’s energy production into sharp focus.
On the podcast we’re joined by Dr Simon Evans who works for Carbon Brief, a leading website covering climate science, climate, and energy policy. He tells us why the UK is uniquely exposed when it comes to energy security. They look at different options including hydrogen, wind power and nuclear and consider what’s good for the UK’s approach to energy prices, energy security and climate change.
We’re then joined by two Members of Parliament. @GregClarkMP chairs the Science and Technology Select Committee and @AnnaMcMorrin is a member of the Environmental Audit Committee. They discuss the work under way by their committees as they explore the possibilities for Britain's energy mix.
Your host is Darren Jones MP, Chair of the House of Commons’ Business Committee.
