In this special episode of the New Statesman Podcast, in association with Smart Energy GB, Ailbhe Rea and guest co-host Philippa Nuttall discuss how the ways we use energy in the future will change, and what we can do to make sure that transition benefits everyone, including the most vulnerable.
They are joined by the Liberal Democrat energy and climate emergency spokesperson Wera Hobhouse and Iagan MacNeil, from Smart Energy GB, to talk about what shifts could make a difference, and what action needs to be taken now to make that change happen.
Smart Energy GB is the not-for-profit, government-backed campaign helping everyone in the UK understand the importance of smart meters and their benefits to people and the environment. Its national campaign is reaching homes and small businesses across England, Scotland and Wales.
