Guiding me through the pros and cons of wind is Ian Taylor from Thistle Wind Partners, who has been in the sector for 20+ years. We have an honest chat about the realistic potential of wind power for net zero.

Space tech is so commonplace in our lives we hardly think of it. From baby milk to sat nav and cordless vacuum cleaners to memory foam mattresses. And of course, where would we all be without the ability to take a selfie? All these things were invented for our exploration of space.
Now research says satellite tech could help us get to net zero a decade earlier!
Listen to my out of this world chat on the possibility of space to help us fight climate change. My thanks to Todd McDonell from Inmarsat for the voyage into net zero and beyond!

Biomass - chopping down trees for fire in simple terms. Is it right, does it make environmental sense, can it really be good for the planet? All questions I have asked and never really got unemotive, science based answers to, until now.
Join my chat with Professor Patricia Thornley from Aston University, who takes me on a journey from the Carboniferous forests of millions of years ago to the biomass burners of today.
