Grid resilience and geopolitical concerns

Imogen Bhogal & Dan Caesar deliberate on what would put the cherry on top of Keir Starmer's trade mission to China, and why 'overcapacity' is the crisis looming over the global automotive market. They also discuss how solar beats biofuels, 'dark factories', cold conditions & Polestar's triumph.
