1:07:34Now PlayingThis week, we bring you a full punter on battle between Dan Bleakley, co-founder of Australia's first electric trucking company New Energy Transport, and longtime YouTube commentator and libertarian Topher Field, to settle the question: are electric trucks the future of Australian freight, or just another taxpayer-funded pipe dream? We break down the heated debate over a viral Instagram post claiming electric trucks just beat diesel again, why one side says we're subsidising a fantasy while the other says we're shackled to a volatile fossil fuel crisis, and how a disagreement over basic arithmetic turned into a full scale ideological clash between progressives betting on new technology and conservatives defending the status quo.
