When we talk about decarbonising, it’s easy to think we need to rebuild everything from scratch.
But as Baroness Bryony Worthington reminds us — tearing down what already works is the slowest way forward.
We’ve spent decades building global energy systems, grids, and infrastructure that connect billions of people. Instead of ripping them out, we can repower them — reusing what’s valuable and replacing only what pollutes.
That’s the smarter way to accelerate climate action.
Same infrastructure. New energy. Faster transition.
