Energy Insiders Podcast: Tesla’s battery revolution, CCS, and the climate emergency

Tesla’s Battery Day delivered anticipated cost cuts, but the agency to act is highlighted by both Elon Musk and our guest, Zeke Hausfather – the director of climate and energy – from The Breakthrough Institute.

We also ponder the Coalition’s technology roadmap, and wonder why anyone would want to invest a dollar in carbon capture and storage if there isn’t a carbon price.
