About this listen
Welcome to Season 5 of The Broke Architect Podcast , where we challenge convention and ask uncomfortable questions about how we design, build, and power the world around us.
In this episode, Jason Boyle is joined by Dr Tim Gregory, nuclear chemist and author of Going Nuclear, for a clear-eyed conversation about energy, climate change, and the realities behind Net Zero.
We’ve electrified buildings, debated gas bans, and filled landscapes with wind turbines, yet the UK hasn’t built a new nuclear reactor in over 30 years. So where is our electricity actually coming from, and is our current strategy sustainable?
Why nuclear power fell out of favour in the UK
Whether Net Zero is achievable without nuclear
The limits of wind, solar, and energy storage
The future role of gas in a low-carbon system
Why symbolism often replaces systems thinking in sustainability
This is a grown-up conversation about energy — not ideology.
