@volts.wtf I'd love it if you'd do an episode on how China's EV roll out and China's move to cities are interacting. Anything interesting or novel they're doing around e.g. charging infrastructure? Other impacts?

Yeah, but could we get these heart warming messages about turning 50 vs 30 please?
I was well over 30 when I wrote and published my first novel, and fully agree with you!
When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.
