Over recent decades the price of energy

has collapsed. The same is also true by the way for energy storage

with lithium batteries. That's why increasingly we see things like

electric vehicles because the economics of these things add up.

Now for the optimists out there they say that these

falls in price for renewable technologies are brilliant they're all we need

and they are the panacea in terms of addressing the climate crisis.

And yet, at the very same time, we have seen the percentage of energy coming from non-fossil fuel sources remaining broadly the same.

So what explains this strange contradiction?

Falling prices and yet we're not decarbonizing particularly quickly.

Today's guest has a pretty interesting hypothesis regarding all of that.

He says we should not be focusing on prices but profits and simply

put renewable energy isn't that profitable. Brett Christopher's welcome to Downstreet.

Thanks for having me.

Well, I'm glad you said that because I had a few colleagues in video.

They were a bit suspicious when I said,

we're going to talk to somebody about asset management

it's going to do really well everybody wants to hear about it and they just didn't

believe me but it ended up getting a quarter of a million views and counting

so amazing amazing great book thank you a quarter of a million views and counting. Amazing.

Great book.
