Broadcast on 10 May 2022.

Interview with Richie Merzian, Federal Election Policy Series: 3. Climate Change and Energy Policy

THIS WILD ELECTION: EP 8, How to #voteclimate, with Richie Merzian

Richie Merzian sees a simple three-step solution to climate change: get to 100 per cent renewables, electrify everything, then learn how to remove carbon from the atmosphere through sequestration. As climate and energy program director at think-tank The Australia Institute he advocates for meaningful policy action towards these goals. He brings insights from his experience as both a climate campaigner and government insider. Richie Merzian is recorded live in conversation with Yaara Bou Melhem at Powerhouse Ultimo.

We need to talk about Carbon Capture & Storage | with Richie Merzian

Richie Merzian is the Director of the Climate &amp; Energy Program at The Australia Institute.  With Australia embarrassing itself on the global stage when it comes to setting actual reduction targets that might actually do something, this was a great chance to check in with where the climate debate is at. Richie lays out just how lacking our commitments are, what they should be and what other countries are doing, as well giving me the rundown on electric vehicles, carbon accounting tricks, just transition models, fossil fuel subsidies and the (relatively straightforward) path to addressing this existential crisis.    If you’ve got the means please support this show by becoming a Patron Join the LIASYO Facebook group here please and thank you My 2021 show WE ARE ALL IN THIS is on at the Melbourne Comedy Festival NOW – just 6 shows left!
