The UK budget is here, and apparently the government is everywhere, but the environment. We're pretty underwhelmed, because according to Jeremy Hunt - nuclear power is our future - we talk about what needs to change. We also discuss when our energy bills are REALLY going to fall - because it's incredibly confusing, and we examine a plan created by …
There’s two big environmental stories from Germany which caught our interest this week - so we look into what they could mean for all of us.

George Soros proclaims we need to control the weather to stop climate change - is this a good idea, or just bonkers?

We hear how fighting climate change is now a profitable endeavour in the US thanks to a new financial act, and it’s coming to Europe. There’s a new idea to use moon dust to help stop global wa…
We’re a bit sweary today in this bumper episode as the world’s gone bonkers – and Ian’s taken up for defending everybody.

Shell have made £32bn of profit when we’re in an energy crisis…
