The Catchup

Ep.157: We Need More Power feat. Blake Ellis


Listen Later

This week, it's all things power featuring one of our favorite guests, musician and friend of the show Blake Ellis! In a follow-up to last week's discussion about the auto industry's permanent shift to electric, this week we share our experiences about how the impact of loud, raw, and sheer gas-driven power turned us car crazy, and gave us a respect for the machine and the industry.

All three of us agree - an evangelical moment of loud, powerful engines in our youth changed our lives forever. Years later, we all share a healthy love, respect, and nostalgia for our vehicles. John attests that experience could even influence a generation of those willing to work on and maintain their own vehicles (an opportunity that saves man and leaves room for creativity).

But nothing is forever. And electric cars are sure to change more than just the noise pollution in our communities. Is going electric truly better for the environment? What about hydrogen (another clean energy) and why isn't it being lauded as the replacement for gasoline? The most abundant resource in the universe would appeal to the car culture, and environmentalists? Will cars of the future be touted as works of art? Or consumed and consistently replaced like other electronics?

And what about other major green energy movements, like the shift to electric planes? There are a lot of unanswered questions, and a lot to dive in to... let's go ahead and get into it!
