This week on Downstream, Aaron Bastani is joined by the British national treasure you haven’t heard of: green energy pioneer Dale Vince. A self-made multi-millionaire, Vince tells the story of how he went from being a scrap man, living in a van, to building the UK’s first electric wind...

@AaronBastani @DaleVince You seem to have spelt National Disgrace wrong. This man built a business on taxpayer subsidies after spending his youth shitting in farmers fields and ruining lives/livelihoods on a hippy bus. He then laughed at us all as he quaffed champagne on private jets.

@AaronBastani @DaleVince I thought you lot were journalists. There’s virtually nothing right in this post

@AaronBastani @DaleVince Describing Dale Vince as a "British national treasure" is beyond parody.

World’s first electric car? The history of the electric car spans nearly two centuries and involves several key milestones and inventors: •Early Prototypes (1828–1839): •The earliest known electric vehicles were small-scale models. In 1828, Hungarian inventor Ányos Jedlik built a tiny model car powered by his own electric motor. •Between 1832 and 1839, Scottish inventor Robert Anderson developed a crude electric carriage powered by non-rechargeable primary cells. While not practical for daily use, Anderson’s carriage is often cited as the first electric car prototype. •First Practical Electric Vehicle (1881): •In April 1881, French inventor Gustave Trouvé successfully tested what is considered the world’s first human-carrying electric vehicle—a tricycle powered by a rechargeable battery and an improved Siemens electric motor. This marked the first public demonstration of a practical, self-propelled electric vehicle. •First Production Electric Car (1884): •English inventor Thomas Parker built the first production electric car in Wolverhampton in 1884, using specially designed high-capacity rechargeable batteries. Parker is credited with electrifying the London Underground and advancing battery technology, making his vehicle a significant step toward commercial electric cars. •First “Real” Electric Car (1888): •In 1888, German engineer Andreas Flocken created the Flocken Elektrowagen, which is often regarded as the first “real” electric car due to its four-wheel design and practical usability. •First Successful U.S. Electric Car (1890): •In the United States, William Morrison of Des Moines, Iowa, built an electric carriage around 1890. This vehicle could carry six passengers at up to 14 mph and is considered the first successful electric car in America, sparking broader interest and development in electric vehicles.

@Jojosdojo @AaronBastani @DaleVince The guy who took @UKLabour money to support their candidates in targeted seats held by / winnable by the Green Party, at the last general election? Very strange choice of language to describe Vince as an unknown national treasure?!…

@AaronBastani Two comments: 1) Can Vince explain how he got the land (on Tinkley Lane)? 2) Tesla didn't try and 'steal' his (poorly performing) network. They wanted to break Vince's monopoly at motorway sites, which was strangling EV adoption. Look at CMA ruling at the time Vince sold.

@AaronBastani @DaleVince National treasure? Even for you that’s stupid, how would his business model work without the green levy?

Reggie Bush says Vince Young was offered his 2005 Heisman Trophy by the NCAA after USC was stripped of its wins and Vince declined it because he believed it would always be Reggie’s trophy “What’s crazy, you know what I love about the game? Sometimes the players who are your rivals or your enemies on the field end up becoming some guys you’re close homies with. Vince is somebody I have a lot of respect for because Vince also did something that I’ll never forget.” “After we played the national championship game, obviously they beat us. One of the things that we did, me and Matt, was we went to their locker room. We sought out Vince and the coach, wanted to shake their hands, like, ‘Yo, congrats. That was a good-ass game.’” “After that, when these penalties were happening and the Heisman Trust stripped me of the Heisman Trophy, one of the things that they did was they went to Vince and they asked him if he wanted the trophy.” “They took the trophy from me, and they were going to give it to Vince. Vince says to the Heisman Trust, ‘That’s Reggie’s trophy.’” “I’ll never forget that because you gotta think, first of all, he just beat us. They’re on top of the world. They just took down the number one team. He would have every right in that moment, if he wanted to, to be like, ‘Absolutely. Let me get that.’” “That respect and that bond that you create on that battlefield, on the football field, you can’t break that. Shout out to Vince. That’s my dog. I have a lot of respect for him, not only as a football player, but just as a man and everything he stands for.” “For the decision that he made as a young kid, young 20-, 21-year-old kid, to make that decision and to say that and to support me in that time, that meant everything to me.”
