Costing The Earth vs Coastal Net Worth? How the World can Harness Home-Grown Energy!

North Sea Oil is an addiction the UK has struggled with, but what if there was another way? All countries are rich in resource of one type of another, the UK's coastline is its pearl. Listen in for a deep dive with Deborah Greaves from the University of Oxford, as Robert Llewellyn finds out everything about offshore wind, floating turbines and the actual projects under way. They also get into how O&G engineering skills transfer directly to offshore wind, as well as other emergent technologies, including tidal, and why the UK is unquely placed to ride the wave. Clean energy curious?
