Shattering the Energy Consensus
We are sleepwalking into an energy crisis. For decades, the political establishment has accepted the march toward Net Zero and renewable energy without questioning the true cost to the British public. It’s time for a reality check.
Join PopCon Director Mark Littlewood for a conversation with Dr. John Constable, Director of the Renewable Energy Foundation and one of Britain’s leading independent energy analysts. For years, Dr. Constable has fearlessly challenged conventional thinking on Net Zero, exposing its real impact on the cost, reliability, and security of our energy supply.#
Expect sharp, data-driven analysis as they tackle the most urgent questions facing the conservative movement today:
-
The price of Net Zero: How much is Britain’s energy strategy really costing—and who pays?
-
The renewables reality check: After decades of subsidies and investment, has the transition delivered cheaper, more secure energy?
-
Who decides our energy policy? How much control should Parliament and voters have over decisions shaped by regulation and international commitments?
-
What would a conservative energy policy look like? Can Britain deliver cheaper, more reliable and secure energy while supporting growth and protecting consumers?
And some bigger questions:
-
Is there a genuine physical promise in wind and solar—or are we barking up the wrong tree?
-
Is energy simply another economic input? And if not, what does that mean for economics?
If you care about the future of the UK economy and the realities of our energy grid, you won't want to miss this.
