Plug In! with Saul Griffith
Saul Griffith (Plug In!) is Australia's leading voice on the switch to renewable power. In this workshop he takes us, step by step, through his new handbook to electrify our lives. Saul will make ditching coal and gas simple: where to source electricity, how to heat your home, keep your shower hot, and travel conveniently and comfortably. If you want to make the switch to a renewable energy life, but are intimidated by the apparent complexity and hurdles, this workshop-style conversation is for you. Moderated by Stephen Corby, journalist and former editor of Top Gear and Wheels and co-founder of EV Central.
Saul Griffith is an engineer and entrepreneur specialising in clean and renewable energy technologies. Over two decades in Silicon Valley, he has founded more than a dozen technology companies. He is the author of three books, including Electrify, The Big Switch, and his most recent release Plug In!. Saul has shifted his focus from his R&D lab, Otherlab, to public policy and advocacy, founding Rewiring America, Rewiring Australia, and Rewiring Aotearoa, non-partisan organisations dedicated to electrification and decarbonisation and the associated policy and regulatory implications of meeting our climate goals.
