And you know, you know so often 28 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 4: when you watch the news, you sort of feels like 29 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 4: there's so many problems and issues around the world, and 30 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 4: I don't know if you're like, maybe I just look 31 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 4: at it and go, oh, it's just still too hard. 32 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 4: I just want to binge watch Rue Paul and eat 33 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 4: some burger rings and you know, just switch out to it. 34 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 4: So this guy, so, he's an engineer, he's like a 35 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 4: problem solver. He grew up in one of those families 36 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 4: where the dad like pulls apart car and sticks it 37 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 4: back together kind of thing, and then he grew up 38 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 4: Saul Griffith to be an engineer. And then the problem 39 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 4: that he's working at the moment is climate change after 40 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 4: a big career in America and so on, and he's 41 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 4: just he explained it so clearly. And he's got this 42 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 4: community down near Willongong where he lives, where they're attempting 43 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 4: to get the whole community to move all their household 44 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 4: appliances onto electricity powered by renewables. And the way that 45 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 4: he explained it. I kind of finished. I felt like, 46 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 4: that's just seems not that hard. So I felt actually 47 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 4: kind of optimistic and hopeful at the end of it, 48 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 4: where it's normally have feel just. 49 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: Gutted and feel hopeless. 50 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 3: At the end of those sto you get a feeling 51 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: lately you think, oh, if they shut down all the 52 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 3: coal fired power stations and stuff like that, we're going 53 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 3: to be all sitting around a candle. 54 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: It feels like there's nothing moving forward. 55 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, this guy, the way that he explained it, 56 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 4: it was just so kind of clear. But he points 57 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 4: out that the issue is over time, you save money 58 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 4: like safe you have an electric car or sol a 59 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 4: power or whatever, but the startup costs a high So 60 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 4: the thing that puts me, for example, of buying an 61 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 4: electric car is because it just cost too much money. 62 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 4: Whereas he says, this government just gave people a bit 63 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 4: of a subsidy and people could actually get some of 64 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 4: this stuff. It'd be helping the climate. And then also, 65 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 4: you know, I don't know if any of you've got solar, 66 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 4: but over time to not have a power bill at all. 67 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: That's right. 68 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 2: You have to put the money at the beginning and 69 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: then all gets cheap along the way. Hey, I've got 70 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: a bone to pick with you. We are friends. 71 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: But what's happened?
