| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Foley Charge Show podcast, I'm Helen Cherisky. The G7 summit |
| 0:24.4 | in Cornwall has been all over the news. It was held from June the 11th to the 13th, so it's |
| 0:30.2 | just gone as I record this. And the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, |
| 0:37.8 | the USA and the EU all sat down with representatives of Australia, India and South Korea for a very |
| 0:45.0 | serious discussion about all kinds of issues. And of course, the future of energy and transport |
| 0:50.1 | was on the agenda, along with lots of other stuff. So we thought this would be a great opportunity |
| 0:55.2 | to explore international policy on energy and transport. And my guess this week is Rob |
| 1:01.8 | Gross, who is a professor of energy technology and policy at Imperial College London. And he's also |
| 1:07.1 | the director of the UK Energy Research Centre, which goes by the acronym U-CURK. We talked about |
| 1:13.8 | all sorts of things. You know, the things I'm really interested are whether those big energy |
| 1:18.1 | policies really do make a difference and what are the biggest bottlenecks when it comes to policies |
| 1:22.8 | for the future. And why does it seem, you know, to those of you who are just watching me outside, |
| 1:28.3 | policy seems to move so slowly. So Rob makes a great argument that policy has launched a really |
| 1:34.4 | big shift in our energy supply. And so it was really interesting to hear at some of the historical |
| 1:39.0 | context leading to the policies we have today. So here is the conversation. |
| 1:53.2 | My energy is putting the eye back into British innovation. My energy is putting the eye back |
| 1:59.7 | into inventing the future. My energy is putting the eye back into inspiring a nation. |
| 2:05.6 | Recharging the world with green smart energy. Charge your EV with your PV and more. |
| 2:14.0 | Visit myenergy.com and help to spark the green revolution. My energy driving the charge to a |
| 2:22.8 | greener future. Rob, thank you for joining us on fully charged. Let's get stuck straight in. |
| 2:32.4 | We've just had a whole load of stuff in the news about the G7 summit. And obviously they |
| 2:37.6 | discussed lots of things there. There's all kinds of problems in the world need discussing. |
