In the latest episode of Almost Breaking News, Robert shares insights from his recent trip to China, where he witnessed the country’s remarkable progress in clean energy deployment. He then turns his attention to the issue of gas boiler pollutants in the UK, highlighting the environmental impact of domestic heating and the government’s plan to phase out new gas connections by 2025.
He also spotlights Incat, an Australian shipbuilder pioneering eco-friendly vessels, and discusses Volkswagen’s bold target of producing one million electric vehicles annually powered by renewable energy. His test drive of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 adds a personal touch, showcasing a sleek, high-efficiency EV that’s quickly emerging as a serious player in the market.
Robert goes on to examine the Tony Blair CCS Project, which advocates for nuclear and fusion as long-term climate solutions—though critics argue these technologies are still too costly and slow to scale compared to renewables. He wraps up the episode by covering the recent wave of blackouts across Europe, driven by energy supply issues and extreme weather, emphasizing the urgent need to strengthen and modernise the continent’s power infrastructure.
