Interesting read from Energy Live News.

The latest data suggests that many of the UK regions most sceptical about net zero could actually see some of the biggest benefits from the clean energy transition, particularly when it comes to jobs, investment and economic growth.

A reminder that the conversation around net zero is often as much about opportunity as it is about energy.
