Speaking

Keynotes and panels

The physics of the transition for audiences who have to make decisions about it. Forty minutes, no slide that needs a physics degree, questions taken straight.

Topics

The Energy Trap

Why the renewable energy transition cannot work as planned, and what can. The book's argument in one sitting.

Energy and money

What the energy system actually costs, who pays, and why the headline numbers used to sell the plan do not survive contact with a meter.

Britain's energy accounts

The gap between what the country says about its energy system and what its own figures show. For boards, investors and policy audiences.

The physics under the politics

Energy density, intermittency, storage and grids: the constraints no policy can vote away, explained without a physics degree.

Formats

Keynote (30 to 45 minutes with questions), panel, fireside conversation, private board briefing. In person from Edinburgh or London; remote where that serves the room better.
