Kallum Pickering

Kallum Pickering, Chief Economist at Peel Hunt, dives into the contentious debate over the relationship between net zero ambitions and UK economic growth. He challenges the prevailing belief that these goals are compatible, suggesting that declining electricity availability may be stifling productivity and GDP. The conversation also explores the rise of AI's role in industrial productivity and the urgent need for energy security as demand grows. Pickering urges a reevaluation of energy policies to support both economic growth and sustainability.
