Really glad we covered this session at @rukcymru.bsky.social's Future Energy Wales, the scale of misinformation about renewable energy and net zero is off the scale and getting worse 🤥

Similarly, we were delighted to sponsor the NextGen Tories reception. Potentially the most positive room at conference, it was great to speak with energetic young members of the party advocating for pro-growth policies 📈
