I'm Sam, a dad of two (10 and 13), which is a big part of why I care how this transition plays out. I started the channel because the predictions I'd read years earlier, that solar, wind and batteries would get so cheap they'd take over, were coming true, and I wanted to document every step of it. This isn't press-release journalism. I've driven the cars, flown to China multiple times to test what's coming before it arrives here, and I run a consultancy advising families and businesses on solar, batteries and EVs. What you get here is the same advice people pay me for. Expect the latest EV news from around the world, the battery breakthroughs that matter (and the ones that don't), solar, home batteries and wind, and where Tesla, BYD and the other EV stocks are heading, all in plain English.
