78% Renewable Energy but Still Paying Fossil Fuel Prices?! PLUS Ferrari's Noisy Future!

Video Description

This week, Robert tackles why your electricity bill is still being dictated by the price of imported methane gas — even as renewables hit record highs. He dives into the messy world of energy subsidies, grid dysfunction, and the outdated market logic that keeps fossil fuels in charge long past their sell-by date. Then, it’s on to the global EV boom: China sold 1.6 million electric cars in just one month, while BYD’s production totals are closing in on twice that of Tesla’s. After a quick blast in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, Robert checks in with Jack reporting from Italy on Ferrari’s electrified future — a 4-motor, 1,000+ horsepower beast that simulates gear shifts and amplifies real motor vibrations for a truly visceral driving experience. Finally, Robert unleashes a second rant — this time about the energy-hungry world of AI. From data centres devouring city-sized amounts of electricity to a global gas turbine shortage fuelled by Big Tech’s power needs, the story is as electrifying as it is alarming. Plus, we celebrate new renewable energy records and Scotland’s ambitious push into floating offshore wind. ⚡ In This Episode: 🔋Why gas still sets your power price (and why that’s ridiculous) 🔋EV sales surge across every vehicle type 🔋Ferrari’s electric supercar 🔋AI’s growing energy footprint and the global gas turbine crunch 🔋Scotland’s record-breaking renewable future 💡 Links to stories: https://ember-energy.org/latest-updates/solar-and-wind-met-all-electricity-demand-growth-in-h1-2025/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2rz08en2po https://www.itv.com/news/2025-10-06/renewables-overtake-coal-globally-for-first-time-on-record-analysis https://www.electrive.com/2025/10/10/vw-group-increases-electric-car-deliveries-by-a-third-in-q3/ https://www.electrive.com/2025/10/06/uk-hits-new-ev-registration-record-in-september/ https://www.electrive.com/2025/10/08/bmw-delivers-over-100000-electric-cars-again-in-q3/ https://www.electrive.com/2025/10/14/1-6-million-nevs-china-records-unprecedented-electric-car-sales-in-september/ https://cnevpost.com/2025/10/10/byd-14-millionth-nev-rolls-off-line-brazil-plant/ https://reneweconomy.com.au/australias-main-grid-hits-new-renewable-record-share-of-77-9-per-cent-driven-by-rooftop-pv/ https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-ai-data-centers-electricity-prices/ https://www.desmog.com/2025/10/13/openais-new-energy-chief-is-a-trump-administration-natural-gas-evangelist/ https://modoenergy.com/research/ercot-data-center-buildout-projection-load-forecast-senate-bill-six-gas-turbine-shortage https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3326920/worlds-most-powerful-flying-wind-turbine-launched-western-china 0:00 Introduction & Channel Ad 0:55 Global Renewable Energy Overtakes Coal! 1:47 Rant: Why Your Electricity Bill is Governed by Gas & Fossil Fuel Subsidies 5:26 China's Massive Wind Turbine Investment in Scotland 6:57 All Ground Transport is Going Electric?! 8:51 BYD vs. Tesla: China's Mind-Melting Production Numbers 10:50 Australia's Renewables Records & The Global Grid Problem 13:21 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and the Psychology of Acceleration 15:59 The AI Data Centre Fire & Hypocrisy of Tech Bros.... 21:31 The Electric Ferrari 23:29 China's Flying Airship Wind Turbine Idea 24:56 Outro & Subscribe Plea Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel Everything Electric CARS: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: [email protected] Everything Electric MELBOURNE - Melbourne Showgrounds 14th, 15th & 16th November 2025 Everything Electric SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park 6th, 7th & 8th March 2026 EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026 EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026 #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electric-vehicles-uk #EnergyNews #EVRevolution #AI #Renewables #FerrariEV #TechNews #CleanEnergy #GridReform #ElectricVehicles #RobertLlewellyn #CleanEnergy #EVNews #FerrariEV #Renewables #AI #GridReform #ElectricVehicles #everythingelectrictech
