BBC Radio 4 - Analysis, Green technology and early adoption

Simon Jack investigates whether the UK should be an early adopter of green technology.

Should the UK be an early adopter when it comes to green energy technology? The BBC's business editor, Simon Jack, investigates.

Climate change has shot up the current political agenda in part due to the Extinction Rebellion protests. An urgent question now facing UK policymakers is whether they should accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge green energy technology to curb the country's carbon emissions. But are there dangers of being an early adopter of new technology?  What happens if it doesn't work or if it's outpaced by newer technologies which are cheaper and more efficient?  The BBC's Business Editor, Simon Jack, investigates.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
