#093 - Kathryn Porter - NUCLEAR is the Answer, NET ZERO is the Problem


Listen Later

Kathryn Porter, energy analyst and founder of Watt-Logic, joins The Peter McCormack Show for a data-driven takedown of the UK’s broken energy system. In this episode, Kathryn exposes how Net Zero ideology, civil service incompetence, and corporate rent-seeking have driven up bills, destabilised the grid and betrayed the public. We dive into the real cost of wind, the myth of “cheap renewables,” the politics behind energy policy and why nuclear and gas remain the only viable paths forward. This is a forensic, clear-eyed look at the UK’s energy crisis and what needs to happen to fix it.
