Tools in the toolbox \u2013 how many do we need?
\n
\nGraeme Cooper is Project Director / Transport Decarbonisation at National Grid and, fresh from his appearance on Top Gear, he chats with Leon Daniels about how, in the last week, all the decarbonisation jigsaw bits are finally coming together.
\nGraeme talks with an easy engaging energy and passion, presenting serious thought leadership in an easy-to-digest form and explains his mantra \u201cDon\u2019t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.\u201d
\nHe unpicks the government\u2019s recent announcements and its 10-point decarbonisation plan. Crucially, he tackles the oft-asked \u2018big question\u2019: Do we have enough grid capacity for clean transport?
\nWhat if the entire country went to electric cars tomorrow \u2013 would the lights go out?\xa0
\nGraeme sets out the how the government\u2019s \xa3950m to future-proof the grid will be spent and where he sits in the hydrogen v electric debate.
\nHe explains why, in heading towards 2050 net zero, \u201ctransport is the easiest to fix\u201d and how almost limitless capacity for electric bus garages and is available right now.
