Prof Jim Skea is the chair in sustainable energy at Imperial College London's Centre for Environmental Policy. He is a founding member of the UK's Committee on Climate Change and in 2015 was elected co-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Working Group III. He is vice-president of the Energy Institute. He was awarded an OBE for services to sustainable transport in 2004 and a CBE for services to sustainable energy in 2013.

Here, Carbon Brief asks Skea about the fear in some parts of the British media that "the lights could go out".
