| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to now I'm going to say it a special episode of the fully charged show podcast. Now I mean no really this one is |
| 0:15.3 | actually special. I'm joined by two very very high-flying professionals and we are going to discuss |
| 0:27.2 | the reform or transform what is going to be happening in the future in really this year all over the world there's so many elections there's so much |
| 0:32.1 | stuff we're talking about the politicization of the electric vehicle and of renewables. |
| 0:36.3 | And I'm very, very relieved to be joined by Quentin Wilson and Dan Caesar. |
| 0:42.2 | Welcome both of you. This is, I'm looking forward to this because I, you know, |
| 0:46.6 | that we've been busy this year I think with, you know, countering some of the negativity that's in the press and it's been a lot of it but |
| 0:57.2 | Quinton you I mean you really I kind of think of you leading the team the stop burning |

| 1:57.0 | organizations who just complained and said actually this is manifestly a falsehood and |
| 2:02.2 | the truth has been distorted and the presidic you said, okay, yeah, you're absolutely right and the daily mail had to print a retraction. |
| 2:12.0 | Sini lost on page 37. the daily mail had to print a retraction. The point is it was made and I think Robert the most vital thing from that is that the newspapers |
