The Swift Half with Snowdon ft. Angela Knight - a podcast by Institute of Economic Affairs

PUBLISHED ON SEPTEMBER 2ND 

Energy prices are soaring and policymakers find themselves at a crossroads.

Down one path is further government intervention in the sector, with many calling for windfall taxes on North Sea oil and gas firms. Down the other, some argue that the government should put Net Zero aspirations on hold and focus on ensuring security of supply by boosting the domestic production of oil and gas.

In this episode of the Swift Half with Snowdon, IEA Head of Lifestyle Economics, Christopher Snowdon, is joined by Angela Knight, former Conservative MP for Erewash and the Chief Executive of Energy UK from 2012 to 2014. They discuss the energy market and what can be done to fix it.
