  • Summary

  • What’s the price of climate progress? As another Scottish pylon project is approved, the team hears about the communities in the way of the green energy revolution.

    Prime Minister Keir Starmer calls them Nimbys (Not in my back yard). But campaigner Kate Matthews tells us how 70m monster pylons will blight the landscape around her home in Aberdeenshire.

    Kate is from one of the many local groups fighting pylons, substations and battery energy storage systems being built across the country. BBC Scotland Environment Correspondent Kevin Keane joins her in the studio.
