Dale Vince's Zerocarbonista

<p>Zerocarbonista is the podcast from green entrepreneur and climate change campaigner, Dale Vince. From building his first windmill in 1996 to taking Forest Green Rovers Football Club vegan in 2015 and becoming a United Nations Ambassador in 2019, Dale Vince has made saving the planet his life’s mission. </p>

The Babelfish Edition

And so much more, the ClusterMusk enters the lexicon, Dale and Reform agree about something, it’s worth a billion a year….the budget lands, COP30 resonates (is it a death rattle?) - and Babelfish…..hits the streets of London, first edition - Truth about Power. In surprising news, British Gas supports a wealth tax - we ask does Octopus. Ultra Processed Food is a big problem (with or without the cow). And the Germans are coming for our sausages.

The Power of Three

The Millionaire roadshow, FGR go top of the league Ma and Dale fact checks himself. Is China our secret climate weapon? Will COP 30 deliver anything? And a new defence for eco protestors - from the Government? Along with Cola from Gaza, the slow motion train crash of Reform and a listener question to which Dale says - Monday.

A Tale Of Two Forests

Ethical consumers, standing up for Palestine, no money for the Amazon, COP 30 - what is it good for.? The world’s biggest hypocrite and king of fake news - and a near miss in Aldershot. We crunch the numbers for a fabulous listener question - and the stats that show why climate denial should be illegal.

The Wealth Tax Cometh?

This week - from vegan sea gulls to stunning football - the new study that destroys the fairy tales of Farage, Badenoch and even Octopus….The exit tax that gives a budget clue, poisonous tap water and what did privatisation ever do for us? Musk descends deeper into his hole …. and Reform’s promises evaporate on contact. An awesome listener observation - a tale of two bacons in the Guardian ….and Dale fact checks himself - with FFS.

New Piers and Old Blair

This week we got Piers Morgan, reborn as a woke person - Tony Blair, reborn as a green eyed monster and Reform - just being themselves. Dale wins a pair of legal judgements, putting Reform’s Tice back in the dock along with the Daily Mail and a pre-internet media law (sounds like an oxymoron). Supervillain oil and gas company Shell are in hot water for making typhoons… Ban the Bacon gathers pace and our listeners get down to it - with Zac P and grass questions.

Reform’s Hat Trick and California’s slow food revolution

Dale joins Chris Packham and Feargal Sharkey in a protest. Reform perform for us all. An Israeli football club pulls a Prince Andrew… Octopus shows us it can count (beyond 8) and Ed gives the game away… fabulous woolly question from a fan and an X-rated ban.

The Data says it's b*ll*cks!

The Wealth Tax cometh, the Paris target is behind us - we go all ‘Cow in the Room’ with the Red Tractor in the dock, escaped salmon in the Loch and new life in concrete blocks. Dale pumps the Trump and our listeners tell us how the Dutch do it. Over on X-rated corner the diss attempts fall flat as Dale put’s 'em straight - ain’t no bad thing being called a girl.

So Much Not To Panic About

This week - The invisible conference, King Coal dethroned and the green energy Six Pointer. Uncle Sam’s Fat Beardo problem and Blair’s new war zone gig. Farage makes Dale an offer - while members plan green energy investment. We ask, is Octopus the new mouthpiece of the right and this Jenrick bloke - litter picking in Brum? We find sanity in our listener questions….and fun in X Rated corner. Oh and we tease next week….Terrorists v freedom fighters

The Giga Poll, a cup of tea with Maggie & some tears

The Giga Poll launches at an Endurance event - it's what Britain really thinks. Along with social media fun on a ladder - the green economy in one minute and Dale’s view on Keir’s speech – oh, and why the public is pissed off. A cup of tea with Margaret Thatcher stuns the Daily Telegraph... and Full Metal Ed ends it all with a bang. Meanwhile - Palestine is a country... who knew – Dale recounts the event, heckles Jezza who has a snappy comeback and leaves in tears. Ian shares the etymol...

A Bunch Of Musks

Fake news on the left and the right - Dale is a Driller? - Apt when the Leader of the Fact Free world is in town, C4 blows him up - but is he such a bad man...? Dale gets philosophical about the medicine of football and the origin of slurs - and trumps genitals and the animal kingdom. Listeners take us back to grass for food, plant based populism and energy while X-Rated Corner never disappoints..

Doctor Doctor…

Football as medicine, a revelation from Dale and rejection from Reform, Farage meanwhile gets the spoon and we ask if he is dodging tax… China tops the league and Dale wants to save the North Sea, great questions from listeners - green populism and food and parcels of energy, while on X-Rated Corner we’ve some odd ideas about grass and cows…..

NEW SERIES - Green Populism - what is it, nobody knows…

Trump might say that but Dale knows. And it’s in the news this week. Meanwhile Farage speaks out for Angie, or does he, Badenoch’s backstory looks bogus, Stroud has a new flag poll, Reform clamps down on free speech. Robbie Savage sets FGR on fire. And our X rated corner friends have their usual obsessions. Welcome to the new season - Don’t Panic.

The Best (And Worst) Of X-Rated Corner

Believe it or not, not everyone is fully on board with Dale! Crazy as it sounds, there are a few dissenters and they're only too happy to let him know their thoughts. Enjoy this compilation of slices from X-Rated Corner, before a brand new episode of a brand new series drops on Friday September 5th. That's next week!

Episode 45 - Naughty Nigel & Gary Scissorhands

Dale gets a new motor, talks taxes for the rich and justice for the Beanfield, recognition for Palestine, Football on prescription and Octopus in the dock. With a sprinkling of Trump we also look at the Musk mini-me, stomping around councils up north. And if that’s not enough we got listeners lining up to start the revolution. While X-rated corner has less frivolous things on it’s mind. Super fabulous final episode of the series. And we still need a name……for the next ...

Episode 44 - It’s a summer sizzler of hot topics

Trump, Superman, zombie fish and adverts on Truth Social… A big legal story and a blizzard of media stuff, vegan shirts, football on prescription, the network for nature and an LBC phone in that nearly lands Dale in jail. You want more - X-rated Corner has it..:)

Episode 43 - Reform stupidity, EV handouts & fishy tales

The endless heatwave, Reform nonsense over climate emergency, and brilliant ‘Red Ed’. Sixty Labour MPs make a stand over the state of Palestine – and support for nurses wearing supportive pin badges. Sweeteners for EV cars while 5 million kids can’t be fed. The fishy salmon business repeating itself. The perfect pitch for a mindful moment. Listeners get us talking about generators at Wembley, ‘breaking the link’ but not the right one – and dressing for the summer.

Episode 42 - 'Power Baron’, RIP Zonal Pricing & low-traffic zones

Bring on the wealth tax, zonal pricing is toast, and Dale’s new moniker ‘Power Baron’. Trump and Musk bromance well and truly dead… Sadiq Khan’s low-traffic neighbourhoods keeping people alive … and energy use by AI slashed. Fighting the planners over flying Palestinian flag whilst the IDF keeps murdering. And listeners ask about Glasto politics and small windmills. In X-rated corner there’s gripes on tax paid, protesters and vegan food…

23:58

Episode 41 - Grid Faeries, flags and vegan ticks

Glasto, Kneecap and Vylanous words….the Rabbi with no sense of morality, Ecotricity flies a new flag, FGR get a new manager, onshore wind gets a big boost and a tiny insect turns people vegan….while listeners get us talking about heat pumps, data centres and air pollution - and haircuts….:)

What bollocks on your heat pump story. Most houses are only designed down to -2⁰ , so yes if you have -10⁰ not even your green gas would have kept you warm. I've been installing heat pumps for 15 years. Get your facts right.

A number of sites are saying the embargo on onshore wind has been lifted. Is that so?

As a long time ecotricty customer I was surprised to hear from a friend who is also a long term customer that he is thinking of switching because of appalling customer service trying to get a faulty smart meter fixed. Over 1.5 hours on phone, still not resolved. Don't take your eye off what made you successful
