Michael Rea says the real win is cutting clean energy costs for everyone. Lower costs grow the market and create global opportunities. #CleanEnergy #OffshoreWind #EnergyInnovation #NetZero #UKEnergy

Innovation cannot be predicted, but it can be designed for. Build ecosystems that maximise the chance that great ideas become real technologies. #EnergyInnovation #CleanEnergy #ClimateTech #NetZero
January 23, 2026 at 11:02 AM
Michael Rea says a real energy strategy starts by picking sectors like offshore wind and carbon capture, not just setting high-level climate targets. #CleanEnergy #EnergyPolicy #NetZero #UKEnergy #ClimateTech

Competing in clean energy is not about doing everything. It is about choosing the right battles.

Michael Rea on why the UK must focus its clean energy strategy and use public funding to crowd in private investment. Competing globally takes smart choices. #CleanEnergy #UKEnergy #EnergyInnovation #NetZero

High carbon prices are meant to reduce gas use. But what happens when they push up everyone’s bills instead?

January 20, 2026 at 3:06 PM
Adam Bell warns carbon pricing alone would make power too expensive, slow EVs and heat pumps, and risk missing carbon budgets. Gas must be controlled.

Adam Bell says public vs private ownership of gas is a practical question, not ideology. It depends on asset value, cash, and remaining lifespan. #EnergyPolicy #Gas #NetZero #UKEnergy
January 19, 2026 at 11:04 AM
In this episode, Adam Bell breaks down how the UK Capacity Market is encouraging investors to gamble on future political change, rather than delivering a managed decline of gas. #EnergyRevolution #AdamBell #EnergyPolicy #CapacityMarket #Gas #NetZero #EnergyTransition #UKEnergy #PowerMarkets

Adam Bell says using carbon pricing to force gas off the system could add £4 to £5bn to consumer bills. The market alone may not work here. #EnergyPolicy #Gas #NetZero #UKEnergy #EnergyTransition
January 18, 2026 at 11:03 AM
Adam Bell explains why gas turbines still matter. They deliver instant, reliable power when wind and solar are not available, and very few technologies can match that today. #EnergyPolicy #Gas #EnergyTransition #UKEnergy

Adam Bell says reducing merchant upside in the short term is part of managing political risk. Markets mean risk, and returns are never guaranteed. #EnergyPolicy #Renewables #NetZero #UKEnergy
January 16, 2026 at 11:04 AM
Adam Bell warns UK energy policy is forcing investors to bet on election outcomes. That is not how you manage a decline in gas. #EnergyPolicy #Gas #NetZero #UKEnergy #EnergyTransition

Artisanal mining in the Congo is dangerous and physically demanding. But for many workers, it is one of the only ways to earn a meaningful income. #EnergyRevolution #BenRadley #Congo #Cobalt #CriticalMinerals #ArtisanalMining #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #SustainableMining #GlobalDevelopment

Conditions in Congo’s mining sector cannot be understood without looking at the country’s wider underdevelopment. #EnergyRevolution #BenRadley #Congo #CriticalMinerals #Mining #EnergyTransition #GlobalDevelopment #CleanEnergy #SustainableMining #HumanRights
December 19, 2025 at 3:04 PM
Mining issues in Congo reflect broader underdevelopment. You cannot fix mining without improving the wider economy, Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett notes. #Congo #Mining #EnergyTransition #Development #CriticalMinerals

China now dominates Congo’s largest copper and cobalt projects, a shift that has unfolded over the last decade. #EnergyRevolution #BenRadley #China #Congo #Mining #CriticalMinerals #EnergyTransition #Cobalt #Copper #CleanEnergy #Geopolitics
December 18, 2025 at 3:04 PM
Ben Radley highlights how industrial mining in Congo has displaced artisanal miners and communities, pushing them to poorer deposits. #Congo #Mining #Cobalt #EnergyTransition #HumanRights
December 18, 2025 at 11:03 AM
Ben Radley explains that Congo’s mining challenges are real but not the same as the conflict mineral claims often used to attack renewables. #EnergyTransition #Cobalt #Congo #CleanEnergy

Concerns about the minerals behind the energy transition are valid, but the narrative is often distorted. #EnergyRevolution #Cobalt #Congo #EnergyTransition #CriticalMinerals #SustainableMining #CleanEnergy #GlobalDevelopment #EVBatteries
December 15, 2025 at 3:04 PM
Ben Radley says seven of Congo’s ten largest copper cobalt projects are majority Chinese-owned, reflecting a decade of strategic investment. #Congo #China #Cobalt #Mining #EnergyTransition
December 15, 2025 at 11:06 AM
Cobalt and copper are two of the most critical materials in the clean energy transition.

Ben Radley explains the harsh but voluntary reality of artisanal mining in Congo, where dangerous work often pays far more than local alternatives. #Congo #ArtisanalMining #Cobalt #EnergyTransition
December 12, 2025 at 11:04 AM
Ben Radley explains why Congo sits at the centre of the energy transition, supplying over two-thirds of global cobalt and major copper for electrification. #EnergyTransition #Cobalt #Copper #CleanEnergy
