Show Notes

Today I talk with Mike Lazelle, Founder & VP at Red Phase, a New Zealand-based EV fast charging startup, and Brad Henderson Head of Engineering and Design at ElectroNet.

Both of my guests are Bitcoiners and have an extensive background working in the energy sector in New Zealand and abroad.

We talk about how the NZ grid and electricity market works, and some of the details of how new generations assets are built, and what the future of energy infrastructure might look like in New Zealand.

We also dive into the broader theme of proof of work and decentralisation as a philosophy and way of life.
