Today on the show: Our conversation with Chancellor Reeves on her visit this week to the US. What she thinks went wrong with globalization, and the new economic map she's coursing.

Folge vom 06.08.2024The debate at the heart of new electricity transmissionThe U.S. wants to become a net-zero emissions economy by 2050. That will mean a lot of new generation from renewable energy.

Today, we look at why competition is so divisive and why each side thinks they should build the next generation of transmission infrastructure.
