‘Abundance v Sufficiency: Dawn of Justice' T-Shirt Edition The sufficiency movement is winning… at least when it comes to LMSU merch! If you haven't read Abundance but keep finding yourself sucked into conversations about it, have we got the “No I haven't read Abundance, that's what podcasts are for” t-shirt for you! Merch as a proxy for ideological dominance? You decide. Run, don't walk  to our merch page and grab the limited edition Abundance tee: www.letmesumup.net/p/merch/.—Productivity Palooza 2025 continues like the perpetual festival the PC wished for and your intrepid hosts round up some of the big-ticket climate and energy related outcomes of Jim Chalmers' roundtable. Environmental approvals? Hot to trot, before 2025 is out! Road user charging? Definitely happening, but only for EVs for now! Unlocking more investment from Aussie super funds? I spy with my little eye a performance benchmark test redesign! And what of the National Construction Code pause and reform? The suggestion of a lengthy pause to NCC updates resulted in exasperated bemusement at the boneheadedness of it all from climate folk, subsequently tempered by what was announced, a more modest pause until 2029. The verdict? Maybe focusing on the fact the NCC itself was a productivity reform is a good start, and while we're at it, avoid scapegoating energy efficiency changes that save households money. AI to streamline the code and everything else will clearly save us all! Our main courseIt's time for some game theory as these beautiful minds leap into the climate geopolitics multiverse of Michael Mehling's paper, ‘In The Vortex Of Great Power Competition: Climate, Trade and Geostrategic Rivalry in U.S.-China-EU Relations'. We take the green pill and immerse ourselves in three different universes, from a ‘Race to the Top' where competitive cooperation drives climate innovation, to ‘Geopolitical Fragmentation' where nationalism stalls progress and maybe leads to thermonuclear war? And the most intriguing of all, ‘Reversed Leadership' where China leads the global decarbonisation charge, taking the mantle of global leadership from the US. China looms large across all three scenarios, driven by its increasing dominance in clean tech, but parts and combinations of all three scenarios are entirely plausible today. This short, timely paper packs a lot of punch! One more thingsTennant's One More Thing is: the 2025 Luxton Memorial Lecture at the University of Adelaide, delivered by none other than friend and sometime co-host of the pod, Alison Reeve!Frankie's One More Thing is: the Climate Change Authority's 2025 issues paper consultation, asking a range of questions on the effectiveness of the government's response to climate change. If you have thoughts, and we'll bet you do, chip them a response by 1 September!Luke's One More Thing is: a shout out to friend of the pod, Dylan McConnell, who - in response to our last episode on the NEM review - reminds us that visibility of large, industrial loads is just as important as aggregated is also in the sights of Nelson and his panel. Point well made sir!And that's it for now, Summerupperers.

While other countries were embracing nuclear power decades ago, Australia put a ban on it. Now the federal opposition wants to lift that ban and build nuclear power plants on the sites of ageing coal-fired power stations. Today, we investigate the feasibility of the idea with Dylan McConnell, an energy systems analyst at the University of New South Wales. We ask why would we go down that path when renewable energy is surging ahead?Featured: Dylan McConnell, renewable energy and energy systems analyst at UNSW Sydney

Dylan McConnell discusses the benefits of the Capacity Investment Scheme, its impact on prices and how the market should pay for spilled energy.

This week your intrepid hosts recap some listener mail from friend of the pod, Dylan McConnell, who boldly contends that some of our critiques on IAMs could be appropriately directed closer to home at the ISP.  Also Dylan earns mega bonus points by renaming the ISP as our very own energy system HEGELIAN DIALECTIC. If we called it that we might get even less focus on the process because shiny hegelian dialectic people. Hell Yes!The paper we explored this time represents perhaps peak wonk in the just released Victorian Healthy Homes Program research findings. The program was designed to measure the impact of an energy efficiency and thermal comfort home upgrade on temperature, energy use, health and quality of life. A thousand homes of low-income and vulnerable Victorians were chosen for the study that demonstrated some compelling findings, including… LISTEN TO THE POD. Tennant's One More Thing was to spruik the 2022 Energy Efficiency Summit at which the many the opportunities for energy efficiency to accelerate our journey to net zero emissions will be discussed. Sound awesome? It will be! Want to come? You can! You can register to join online. Regretfully, the full version of Frankie's incitement for you to storm the venue was edited out, not that that should be taken as a challenge to our dear listeners…;-)Frankie's One More Thing was to say a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Green Building Council of Australia who turn 20 this year. So many talented and passionate people have passed through the GBCA over the years, creating a community of alumni whose influence on building a more sustainable built environment goes from strength to strength. Frankie's sneaky twofer was to remind us all that King Charles cares a bunch about climate change and even wrote a book about it. This book!Luke's One More Thing dangerously broke the mold of our pod and departed from climate I KNOW HOW OUTRAGEOUS to flag a particularly brilliant piece of pop culture in the new David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream. Hard recommend from Mr. Menzel!That's all folks, see you next time!

We keep talking about a transition to 100% renewable energy, but do we have the technology and investment to make it happen or are the sceptics right? Hear directly from a panel of experts - their views might surprise you. Our panelists are: - Simon Holmes à Court, is senior advisor to the Climate and Energy College at Melbourne University and sits on the board of the Smart Energy Council - Dr David Osmond, Senior Wind Engineer at Windlab, a leader in advanced wind engineering services - Dylan McConnell, Research Fellow at the Australian-German Climate & Energy College

BZE speaks to Tim Forcey and Dylan McConnell about their recently released report "A short-lived gas shortfall: A review of AEMO's warning of gas-supply 'short falls'. The review found that although a “gas-price crisis” exists in eastern-Australia the size of AEMO’s forecast shortfall is very small, amounting to no more than around 0.2% of annual supply.
