Renew 169 out now: home energy ratings disclosure, public EV charging, sustainable rail networks, the blue economy, nuclear and renewables myths, and much more!
In Renew 169, we tackle nuclear, sustainable rail systems, the blue economy, and everything in between. We deep dive with Andy McCarthy who against all odds built the hugely successful Gippsland Solar in the heart of Victoria’s Coal Country, at a time when community opinion of renewables was less than favourable. We learn about the national Home Energy Ratings Disclosure Framework, requiring property owners to disclose their property’s energy and thermal performance at point of sale or lease. And EV expert Bryce Gaton tells us what the current situation is for public EV charging stations across Australia. Plus, Lance Turner kicks off our new “Home Electrification” series with the story of his DIY reverse cycle air conditioner installation. And much more!
