Decarbonise or Deindustrialise? Is This Really the Choice Facing Britain?

12:43Aruna RamsamyGUEST
Um, so first of all, I, I would agree that one of the levers of decarbonization is certainly electrification, right? I think that's the, uh, clearest pathway.
A
12:52Aruna RamsamyGUEST
Um, but given the, um, high prices that we see today, uh, another is essentially being more energy efficient.
A
12:58Aruna RamsamyGUEST

A
13:12Aruna RamsamyGUEST
