This week, Robert tackles why your electricity bill is still being dictated by the price of imported methane gas — even as renewables hit record highs. He dives into the messy world of energy subsidies, grid dysfunction, and the outdated market logic that keeps fossil fuels in charge long past their sell-by date.
Then, it’s on to the global EV boom: China sold 1.6 million electric cars in just one month, while BYD’s production totals are closing in on twice that of Tesla’s. After a quick blast in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, Robert checks in with Jack reporting from Italy on Ferrari’s electrified future — a 4-motor, 1,000+ horsepower beast that simulates gear shifts and amplifies real motor vibrations for a truly visceral driving experience.
Finally, Robert unleashes a second rant — this time about the energy-hungry world of AI. From data centres devouring city-sized amounts of electricity to a global gas turbine shortage fuelled by Big Tech’s power needs, the story is as electrifying as it is alarming. Plus, we celebrate new renewable energy records and Scotland’s ambitious push into floating offshore wind.
In This Episode:
- Why gas still sets your power price (and why that’s ridiculous)
- EV sales surge across every vehicle type
- Ferrari’s electric supercar
- AI’s growing energy footprint and the global gas turbine crunch
- Scotland’s record-breaking renewable future
