Solar Insiders Podcast February 7

February 7, 2018 by Giles Parkinson and Nigel Morris Leave a Comment

A look insider Tesla’s world’s biggest virtual power plants, and why Craig Kelly gets a Zero for his barmy comments about electric vehicles.
Welcome to the First episode of 2018 for the Solar Insiders podcast, featuring RenewEconomy and One Step Off The Grid editor Giles Parkinson, and solar veteran Nigel Morris, from Solar Analytics.
In this episode, we look at the announcement of the Tesla plan to create the world’s biggest “virtual power plant” in South Australia, and why more governments should follow.
And we also take a look at the debate around electric vehicles, and EV owner Morris gives a stunning take-down of Craig Kelly’s claims that EVs don’t save on emissions or on costs.
