Can't wait to hear your talk. Agree that 'net zero' is insufficient, but probably would have argued we should hold onto it as a workable way to make some progress through existing policy frameworks. But 'net zero' under attack from Right (as well as progressive voices), time for new approach needed?

Depressing. Obvs just one case study, but does this make you feel any more positive? I need some good news 🙏

Interestingly, they seem to have overcome some of the barriers you identified through 20 year rate guarantee? (Though not sure of exact mechanics)
