OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Electrification seems to be the most practical, cost-effective pathway for Australian homes to cut emissions and save money.
In this episode, Dean sits down with author, engineer and electrification advocate Saul Griffith to break down the real opportunities in front of us, and what we know is already working.
They dig into the practical realities behind the headlines:
- Why rooftop solar is now so cheap in Australia and what that unlocks
- The five big household decisions that determine nearly all your emissions
- “Machine turnover”: how simply replacing things as they fail gets us most of the way to net zero
- How families with big energy loads can make electrification work (and sometimes make it fun)
- The policy failures that slow progress and the places Australia is already leading
- Why anxiety and guilt don’t drive climate action, but clarity and timing do
