ARENA&rsquo;s ReWired podcast is back for a new season spotlighting the Australians turning big clean energy ideas into real-world impact.

Australia is in the midst of an energy revolution and The Innovators wants to take you to the cutting edge of it.  It's a place of hydrogen-producing solar paint, of virtual power plants and energy cryptocurrencies.  It's a place of pure innovation and leadership, sparked by individuals with a renewable energy future in their sights and, often, extraordinary stories of their own to tell.  Yes, between the politics, the market and the consumer, there's a lot of noise distorting the energy debate right now.  We want to cut through that with stories of world-leading technology, bold ideas, the value of persistence and would you believe it, the motivating force of failure.  Hosted by Adam Morton, The Innovators is a six-part series and is the second of the Rewired podcasts powered by ARENA, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency.  Find out more at www.arena.gov.au/blog
