BBC Countryfile - blink and you'll miss me!

You can see me squinting into the sun and talking about energy security on BBC Countryfile for the next seven days - about 12mins in.

This was an interesting debate spoilt slightly by the production team thinking that environmental consultants only run consultations for major projects. I realised this while we were filming, stopped and explained and they seemed to understand, but unfortunately they've kept that line in which I think confuses the argument.

I don't see Prof Fells' point where he suggests that if the economy goes down the pan then we won't be able to do anything about climate change - a collapsed economy will have little in the way of carbon emissions. The trick is to do low carbon energy security.
