One thing that is talked about a lot with EVs is can the national grid cope with everyone going electric Graeme answers that but we also talk about how the grid itself plans to be net-zero by 2030 for part of its running time but the national grid plc plan to be net-zero as a company by 2050. Graeme brings up the subject of how we need to be LESS tribal when it comes to energy if we truly care about the environment then at least the short term hydrogen still needs to be on the table as a fuel source.
