In this episode of Real Zero, hosts Professor Hugh Montgomery and Dr. Daniel Grant speak with Tom Parsons, Director at Good Energy, about the critical role of renewable energy in combating climate change. They explore how switching to genuine green energy suppliers, installing solar panels, and adopting heat pumps can significantly reduce household and business carbon emissions.
Tom explains the current state of the UK energy mix, highlighting that 50% of the grid is now powered by renewables, but much more needs to be done. The discussion also unpacks common misconceptions about green tariffs, the reality of energy pricing, and the challenges of balancing the grid with intermittent renewable sources.
The conversation dives into practical solutions, such as switching to a 100% renewable supplier, adopting energy-efficient technologies, and supporting policies that accelerate the transition to renewables. Listeners will walk away with actionable insights on how to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
