In episode 10 we discuss the energy crisis that the world is facing, focusing on the UK. We analyse the role of the government in establishing fuel security policies, that help insulate the poorest against the energy commodity market. We consider the need to establish financial incentives for landlords, so that they tackle the need for energy efficiency in social housing and whether getting rid of green tariffs helps to reduce the cost of energy.
