These days energy companies fall over themselves to tell us how good for the planet they are, with varying degrees of chutzpah. When it comes to actual goodness though, Good Energy is unquestionably, well, good: buy leccy from them and you can be confident it comes from the sun or the wind or Jeremy Clarkson’s backside, no funny business. More to the point, your money will directly lead to *more* wind and solar power getting built, thereby negating the need for JC’s derriere altogether.

Juliet Davenport has been the firm’s boss for two decades, and joins us to explain what makes energy good or miserable, why she can’t be doing with moving to Mars with Elon Musk, and why she’s letting children run her company.
