Behind the Headlines / renewable energy
Is Bristol taking the lead on the future of wind energy?
As the work or the tallest wind turbine in Bristol begins and the regulations covering onshore wind energy are being debated nationally, the role of alternative energies is more prominent than ever.
In episode 81 of the Behind the Headlines podcast, we speak to Dr Hannah Bloomfield, a research scientist at the University of Bristol, who has spent the last eight years studying the impacts of climate variability and climate change on national power systems.
We examine concepts such as wind droughts and how these affect energy production and how our city is making the most of its energy production capabilities.
