Mr Mason Steed

Research student

Overview

My research is aimed at understanding what influences the debate around energy security and net zero.  

My research also goes deep into understanding how energy politics is a core issue in the factionalisation of the political right and how it has become a battle for the soul of what it means to be a conservative. 

Alongside studying for a PhD, I am the policy lead in Wales for an organisation dedicated to ensuring a just transition towards net zero. My professional work allows me to advocate for decarbonised energy and green transport.

Biography

My PhD is titled The Energy Industrial Complex: The fight for the soul of conservatism and the future of the planet.
