84. Blowing up on TikTok, EV Shopping, Electrifying Everything


Listen Later

The struggle to electrify everything in cool climates to meet the Paris Accord and James faces the reality of EV shopping.

The podcast blows up on TikTok, Canadian retrofit grants aren't all that great in reality, no cars on our Toyota dealership's lot, Brian wants more electricity than his home can handle.

Autonomous cars getting confused all at the same time are freaking people out in San Francisco. Waymo is looked at by CNN and turns out driverless cabs take longer but are preferred by riders. 

A look at an interview with author, scientist and inventor Saul Griffin from the What On Earth podcast. He says we can electrify everything and power it by wind, solar and batteries.

Why hydrogen an other emerging green power aren't necessary. How to balance winter and summer demand. And a trashing of the Canadian Environment Minister for buying a pipeline.

Plus Saul's optimism about the future. We're one election cycle away from public acceptance due to falling green energy prices.
