We recorded this episode the day after Prime Minister Johnson made yet another grand statement, but this time about the future of wind energy. Charles Haworth, Executive Director of Commercial Operations - Offshore Wind at GE was as surprised as anyone, but he knows what might seem like an outlandish claim is entirely possible.
