Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Bowen

Australia has become a laboratory for the energy transition, what can the rest of the world learn? After two weeks travelling across Australia and meeting the leaders shaping its energy transition, Michael Liebreich got a close up view of the country's transformation.  For the final episode of Cleaning Up's Deep Dive Australia series, the host becomes the guest as Anna Freeman of the Energy Efficiency Council turns the tables and puts Michael in the hot seat to ask him what he has learned. Michael divides his takeaways into the good, the less good and the “downright ugly”, from Australia's extraordinary rooftop solar and battery uptake to its struggles with wind, transmission and diesel. He also asks whether the country really can become a clean energy superpower, and what its successes and failures can teach the rest of the world. Topics covered in this episode: Australia's rooftop solar advantage Why batteries are beating gas The missing middle of electrification Can transmission keep up? Australia's expensive wind problem The China challenge Breaking the diesel addiction Why EVs may be finally taking off Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is proud to be supported by its Leadership Circle. The members are Actis, Alcazar Energy, Arup, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, Cygnum Capital, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, Schneider Electric, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

Savezna vlada i vlada Novog Južnog Walesa pristale su tijekom sljedećih deset godina izdvojiti 2,5 milijardi dolara za talionicu aluminija, Tomago Aluminium. Tvornica troši oko 10 posto ukupne električne energije u Novom Južnom Walesu, a zbog rastućih troškova energije prijetilo joj je zatvaranje. Ministar energetike, Chris Bowen, kaže da će paket pomoći omogućiti ulaganja u nove obnovljive izvore energije te ojačati sigurnost opskrbe električnom energijom u državi. Tvornica Tomago Aluminium pristala je uložiti dodatnih 1,1 milijardu dolara.

Jeremy Cordeaux is in the garage with Pete and Gary, and the anger is close to the surface. He opens on a London insurer threatening to cancel a driver's policy unless he removes a "Jesus loves you" sign from his Nissan — supposedly because it raises the risk of vandalism — and asks what has become of Christian England. Then the story he can scarcely believe: a Zambian immigrant with almost 100 convictions, who sexually abused a three-year-old boy and his disabled nine-year-old niece, spared deportation by a tribunal under a ministerial direction from Tony Burke, partly because he'd lose access to the NDIS. Jeremy wants to know why the Minister will explain it to everyone but him. He also takes aim at the $400,000 and 47 days Chris Bowen spent circling the globe promoting net zero, the $100 million a year Australia pays to belong to a United Nations he says has kept the peace nowhere, the stamp duty that stops downsizing, the soft-plastics problem we could solve by simply not wrapping everything in plastic, the fight to save the Snowy brumbies from slaughter, and the new warning that more than two cups of milk a day could harm a toddler.

Jeremy Cordeaux is in a freezing garage with Pete and Gary, saluting Australia's gold-medal-winning Commonwealth Games team — and Gina Rinehart's $20,000 reward for every gold, which Jeremy holds up as proof that reward and incentive really work. From there it's a forensic tour of government waste: the little-known Journalism Assistance Fund tipping more than $65 million of taxpayers' money into media organisations (up to $7.5 million per applicant), the $137 million emergency phone-alarm test, and the Bureau of Meteorology's $100 million website. His question throughout: what does the taxpayer actually get? He also skewers a sign-language interpreter relaying a phone-alarm warning to deaf viewers, the $4.2 million paid for a South Pacific luxury "rest stop" for COP delegates en route to Turkey with Chris Bowen, and the $20 Kmart "mouse mover" giving work-from-home staff an instant alibi. Plus Victoria's political chaos and whether Jacinta Allan can survive, the week's inflation and interest-rate watch, a listener's provocative note on the history of Christian nations that became Islamic, and a wander through this day in history — from Route 66's centenary to Henry VIII's fifth wedding and the 32-day marriage that may be a record.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia is navigating an extraordinarily complex energy transition. It is both a major exporter of fossil fuels and a global leader in rooftop solar, while recent disruption to fuel supplies has reinforced the importance of energy security alongside decarbonisation. As the country prepares to co-host COP31 alongside Türkiye, the choices it makes will have implications well beyond its borders. This week on Cleaning Up, Michael Liebreich sits down with Chris Bowen, Australia's Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Chris explains how Australia responded to the recent fuel crisis, why he believes the road to net-zero starts with households, and how the government is balancing affordability, reliability and emissions reduction. Chris and Michael explore Australia's rapid growth in rooftop solar and home batteries, why electric vehicles have been slower to take off, the challenges of expanding the electricity grid, and what Australia's joint leadership of COP31 means for its role on the global stage. Throughout, Chris explains how he sees the challenge of making the energy transition practical, affordable and politically achievable. Topics include: How Australia avoided fuel shortages during the global energy crisis Why Minister Bowen believes the path to net zero starts with households How to make rooftop solar and home batteries work at scale The challenge of electrifying transport in Australia Building the grid needed for a renewable energy future Balancing climate ambition with political and community support What Australia's energy transition can teach the rest of the world Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is proud to be supported by its Leadership Circle.
