Protecting North American Automakers but Not the Planet

The Clean Energy Show

28-08-2024 • 51 mins

In this jam-packed episode, we discuss Canada's decision to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs), a move that could double the price of imported vehicles and potentially hinder climate action. Meanwhile, Germany is accelerating its deployment of renewable energy by reducing bureaucratic red tape. We also delve into China’s Third Plenum, which emphasizes the need to reduce carbon emissions, and how Norway’s EV transition is impacting gas stations. Plus, we share some fascinating listener feedback and dive into a range of other clean energy topics in our Lightning Round.

Key Topics Discussed:

  • Canada's 100% Tariffs on Chinese EVs: James explains why this policy could be detrimental, and we explore the broader implications for the EV market.
  • Germany’s Renewable Energy Push: Learn how Germany is speeding up its renewable energy deployment by streamlining regulations.
  • China’s Third Plenum: This significant meeting highlights the country’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions, signaling a potential shift in global energy dynamics.
  • Listener Mail: A listener shares insights on their solar installation with a “Wiser Meter” and the benefits of monitoring real-time power usage.
  • Lightning Round: Quick updates on Tesla’s declining favorability, record solar generation in Germany, walkable solar panels from Turkey, and much more.
