Sizewell, Swift Bricks and Media Tarts - Dale Vince's Zerocarbonista - S6E38

Jam packed week this - Dale has the spending review blues, we talk Sizewell and the simple alternative we already have (it’s not green either) and the dynamite revelation about Hinkley. Big focus on homes, affordable or not, the rooftop revolution we need and the Swift brick gets explained. Meanwhile economists put a number on the cost of Reform’s Nexit…western media go all estate agent in the Middle East and Dale meets Gordo. On point Qs from our listeners rounded off with more X rated nonsense than you can shake a stick at.
