This week our attention turns to the growing electrification of our world. Nucleus Wealth's Head of Investments Damien Klassen, and Head of Advice Tim Fuller are joined by energy aficionado Paul Martin to help us determine if battery tech will ice the petrol car\n\nYou can read Paul's articles here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-martin-195763b/ \n \nTimestamps:\n00:00 intro\n01:27 video starts\n04:40 Elon Musk's quote\n19:45 price of renewables\n25:50 Government policy on climate\n28:56 Switching the whole grid to EV's\n33:40 How low can battery costs go?\n39:58 Moving away from combustion engines\n44:30 Moving away from fossil fuels\n47:05 Natural gas\n54:33 Solid state batteries\n1:09:45 Tesla's battery use\n1:12:40 Hydrogen\n \n\nWhilst for most of us this is probably the most noticeable in the evolution of our gardening equipment, leading the vanguard of the new era in "powered by power" devices is the electric vehicle, or EV.\n\nTesla, with the help of significant US government support, has spent the last decade or so dragging the western automotive industry from its rusted-on adherence to fossil fuel powered engines, into the 21st century and beyond.\n\nAs electric vehicles have been proven to be, not just the future, but the near future, more and more established players have been forced to develop and adapt their own vehicle production methods to try to stay relevant.\n\nWith all emerging technologies, and in particular big tasks like redefining how our vehicles are powered, there comes engineering challenges, alternative energy approaches and vested interests.\nSeveral energy sources have been offered as alternatives to batteries, with hydrogen being brought to the fore as a potential suitor with some noteworthy advantages, on the surface anyway. But more on that in the show.\n\nTo help colour in the exciting and long overdue revision of reenergising global transport we are lucky to be joined on the line, from Canada, by energy aficionado, Paul Martin.\n\nTo listen in podcast form click here: https://nucleuswealth.com/podcasts/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=direct&utm_campaign=podcast\nGet an obligation-free portfolio recommendation to see how we would invest for you: https://portal.nucleuswealth.com/register/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=direct&utm_campaign=podcast\nLearn more about the hosts: https://nucleuswealth.com/people/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=direct&utm_campaign=podcast\n\nFind us on social media:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/NucleusWealth/\nhttps://twitter.com/NucleusWealth\nhttps://linkedin.com/company/nucleuswealth\n\n\nNucleus Wealth is an Australian Investment and Wealth Manager providing premium wealth services to all Australians.
