Live from Liverpool - Dale Vince's Zerocarbonista - S06E13

A very special episode live from Liverpool Accelerator City...:) ------------ From the Act 1.5 initiative for zero-carbon events to why food—yes, the cow in the room—remains the most stubborn barrier to change, this is a conversation about solutions. We talk green populism, why poverty must be addressed in climate action, and how the biggest environmental win we can achieve today is ditching meat. I also tackle critics, from "gas drilling Chris" to the ever-present "X-rated corner" naysayers on social media. And yes, we address the enduring myths: "What about when the wind doesn’t blow?" Spoiler: there’s a smart, green answer to that. Key takeaways: 00:54 What is Act 1.5, and why does it matter for events like Liverpool’s gigs? 10:15 The truth about renewable energy and balancing the grid. 20:35 “The Cow in the Room”: Why food is the climate fight’s blind spot. 35:33 Addressing poverty in the green movement – can we bring everyone along? 47:15 Is lab-grown meat really the answer? ------------ Green Industrialist.
