Podcasts about Illawarra

In this episode, our guest is Daniel Bleakley, co-founder of New Energy Transport, who shares how his team is building a vertically integrated, zero-emission road-freight company that can compete at diesel price parity by pairing electric trucks with on-site generation and smart participation in Australia's wholesale electricity market. He explains why heavy line-haul routes are the best first movers (diesel can be ~40% of operating cost), outlines initial operations between Sydney and the Illawarra before extending down the Hume to Melbourne, and describes early trials with customers starting in September. Daniel also highlights the system-level upside—using large truck batteries (≈600 kWh each) for vehicle-to-grid flexibility—and updates us on funding (a first raise just under A$1M in Nov, with grants and a follow-on round underway).

What is the value of your soul? In this powerful sermon, Dr. Michael A. Youssef unpacks the most important question Jesus ever asked: “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?” (Mark 8:36). With urgency and clarity, he shows how God's questions in Scripture—whether to Adam, Cain, or Job—are meant to bring us face to face with our need for Him. Only Jesus can weigh the worth of a soul against all the riches of the earth, and only His death and resurrection provide the “great exchange”: our sin for His forgiveness, our guilt for His peace, and our fear for His eternal life.

Maria returns to the dining room table with a fiery critique of Australia's energy pricing disaster. From skyrocketing AGL bills to smart meter control and the illusion of cheap renewables, Maria doesn't hold back. Joined by Jeremy Cordeaux and his panel, they dissect the broken promises of green energy, government overreach, and the slow financial bleed of everyday Australians—all while the media stays silent. Topics you'll hear; AGL and South Australian electricity price increases The myth of renewables being “cheap” and “efficient” South Australia's role as a supposed renewable superpower Smart meter installations and legal rights to refuse Utilities’ control over home solar/batteries (behind-the-meter access) Peak energy pricing manipulation (3 p.m. to 1 a.m.) The true cost of going green in Illawarra ($50,000 per home) Government subsidies, loans, and taxpayer burdens Calls for transparency from energy ministers and regulators Populist politics vs. real leadership Growing frustration with Labour's lack of mandate Media silence and lack of scrutiny over energy decisions See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And with rising star Lachlan Olbrich firmly on NBA radars, will we see him drafted into the league next month?Plenty of big questions loom in Wollongong—and the answers could shape the future of the franchise.
