Sophie and Louise talk about their recent report 'Flex-ability for all' and how we can work to improve this 'ability to be flexible', and how that is a logical extension of existing energy efficiency efforts. A great conversation, e.g. on "energy efficiency is the original flexible asset", making it easier to shift the energy we still need over time.

First, syphilis rates are at a 70-year high, nationally. Between 2018 and 2022, syphilis rates rose about 80%.
Second, because it has to be made separately (for allergy purposes), manufacturing penicillin is comparatively resource-intensive.

"That means you can't make other drugs on that manufacturing line.”
