Brentford boy talks economics

Just been to a lecture at Victoria University beamed in from Auckland.

Lord Stern of Brentford is giving a series of lectures, of which this was number two of three.

This is the same Stern much disliked by the climate change -“it’s all to do with the angle of hte earth” sayers.

Anyway, the theme tonight was moving to a low carbon economy, via improving efficiency of energy use, looking at the development of new technology, incentives beyond the pricing of carbon and the policy context from central government to individuals via communities.

A pleasant change and good brain food.
