In this episode of Energy Evolution, podcast correspondent Camilla Naschert explains the EU’s latest legislation on competitiveness, the Clean Industrial Deal.

Guest Ben McWilliams, affiliate fellow at think tank Bruegel, lays out the global trade and investment picture on solar, batteries and electric cars and explains why the EU's plan may work.
