This week on Downstream, Aaron Bastani is joined by 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 turbine from scratch. After founding his company Ecotricity, the world’s first clean energy company, Vince went on to develop a slew of innovations. These include the world’s first electric car, and the world’s first electric charging network - which Elon Musk and Tesla tried to steal off him, resulting in a David-versus-Goliath legal battle.

In the years that followed, Vince funded Just Stop Oil, has been a major donor to the Labour Party in recent years, and he runs Forest Green Rovers, the world’s first vegan football club. His next project? Creating an edible form of high protein-grass. This is an inspiring interview with a man who saw the future, then made it happen.
