Money. It's a gas. Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash...
Those famous lyrics now seem to have different connotation, for our net zero future. But can investing in the right net zero tech actually make you a stash like Pink Floyd said?
In this podcast I talk to Rebecca Howard from Coventry Building Society. We discuss the green lending world and how making energy efficient spending commitments, could help you find funding in the future.
Will getting a loan or mortgage, one way be influenced by your carbon footprint? Listen in and remember, Rebecca is one of our speakers at the Big Zero Show on 20th June.

Nuclear energy is low carbon, the government has even said it's sustainable. It's a vital part of our net zero future but there is always one real issue, the waste.
There is no doubt nuclear fuel waste is an enormous problem but one man thinks he has the answer. Listen to my chat with Stefano Buono a former CERN scientist, who has set up a newcleo, a company which believes it can elmininate huge amounts of nuclear waste using fast lead reactor tech.
It would make nuclear easier to build, smaller, cut costs and of course make it much cleaner, so is it possible, or science fiction? Listen to find out.

When it was not trendy to be green, Juliet Davenport had an idea. A commercial idea to make renewable power supply a reality for customers who cared. No one thought going green would be financially successful, yet it's now the way of the world.
I was delighted to speak to her about the journey, why she started it and how you too, can do good and still make money. She reveals the secrets in her new book The Green Start Up, copies of which she will sign after her session at the Big Zero Show.

She tells me all about cybercrime and why hackers and criminals, see net zero as an opportunity. What can you do to protect your organisation, how can we keep safe and ensure your data, which is the new gold, is locked away?
We explore ransomware, how to deal with keeping your business and assets safe online and also where to get help for free, to make sure you are protected. It's a vital listen for all businesses.
