    Collector’s Edition: Alex Wolfe and Michael Gove Review 2025’s Biggest Energy Issues

    This is the Collector's Edition of our timely conversation between our host Alex Wolfe and The Spectator's Editor Michael Gove, who are co-hosting The Spectator Energy Summit (Monday 24th November 2025). The Summit brings together political leaders, industry CEOs and climate experts to debate the final energy issues of the year. The day opens with Alex's overview of a year marked by nuclear expansion, North Sea challenges and major policy decisions on affordability and transition. Michael Gove sets the scene with a keynote on the UK’s energy direction, followed by Emma Pinchbeck outlining the UK’s climate strategy. Panels then explore: Backing a broad energy mix for UK security, with leaders from Equinor and National GridInnovation and consumer energy with Greg Jackson of Octopus EnergyThe future of storage with major storage firms and Baroness Luciana BergerA major wind-power debate between RenewableUK and Kathryn PorterPorts and industrial electrification, including the Port of Dover and CCS AssociationIndustry and mobility, with Bosch and automotive expert Harry MetcalfeSustainable aviation fuels, featuring Firefly, Wizz Air, Boeing and Graham Brady The Summit closes with Amber Rudd reflecting on the Paris Agreement ten years on, remarks from Claire Coutinho and final words from Gove, before a drinks reception. The original episode between the two hosts, that was recorded in the Spectator boardroom, tackles the UK’s central energy dilemma: how to balance Net Zero, security, and affordability without losing the engineering talent and resources that already make Britain a global energy leader. From the North Sea debate to international lessons on resilience, Michael Gove offers a clear view of how policy, markets and innovation must work together and why the UK’s energy future depends on building its strengths. Michael Gove was Member of Parliament (MP) for Surrey Heath from 2005 to 2024. A member of the Conservative Party, Gove twice ran to become its leader, in 2016 and 2019, finishing in third place on both occasions. He has been editor of The Spectator since October 2024. _____________________________________________________________ Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/tatami/residence License code: JI1XYNLQRBRLWN12 #WolfePowerClub #EnergyPodcast #TheSpectator   Season Two is in Partnership with The Spectator Follow Our Socials Website: https://www.wolfepowerclub.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WolfePowerClub LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfe-power-club/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wolfepowerclub/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wolfe.power.club Wolfe Power Club Production Team Account Manager: Emilia Donovan Director of Government Relations: Max Austin Designer: Nick Pelekanos Editor: Adam Woodward Social Media Manager: Bella Carter Recorded at Studio 55 - that has produced Breaking the Taboo and The ABTO Podcast

    Alternative Budget Special with The Spectator's Michael Simmons: Inside Westminster’s Energy Storm

    Today, we’re joined by one of Britain’s leading economic commentators: The Spectator’s economics editor, Michael Simmons. Together, we explore an alternative budget for the energy industry and why it’s not too late for the Government to adopt some of our proposals. We examine OEUK’s suggested replacement for the Energy Profits Levy and discuss why the GMB union views lower taxation as a means to safeguard jobs. We also pay tribute to the late Quentin Willson, who, beyond his well-known Top Gear career, championed the FairFuelUK campaign, a movement credited with preventing fuel duty hikes at the pump for nearly two decades. We then turn to the question of VAT on electricity and gas, before concluding with fellow Spectator writer Rory Sutherland’s ideas on how to make tax more aspirational.
