If you've wondered whether electrification is actually feasible, affordable, or secure — this episode answers those questions with data, not hope.

Saul Griffith — MIT engineer, inventor, and author of Electrify: An Optimist's Playbook for Our Clean Energy Future — reveals why Australia is uniquely positioned to lead the world's energy transition, starting with transport. In this Best Of episode focused on energy security and transportation, Saul explains why electric vehicle adoption will happen faster than anyone expects once price parity hits, how EVs actually make the grid more resilient by serving as distributed battery storage, and why hydrogen vehicles are a fossil fuel industry distraction that can't compete with batteries on physics or economics.

You'll hear:
The 35-second plan that could decarbonize Australia by 2030
Why rooftop solar's explosive growth previews what's coming for EVs
How the Ford F-150 going electric changes cultural perceptions overnight
Why Australian households with EVs could go off-grid for 10+ days
The engineering reality that kills hydrogen's viability for transport
