The Big Switch with Saul Griffith: Electrify Everything!
'The point is, we don’t have to be perfect to solve climate change. We just need to be electric.' - Saul Griffith
Climate change is a planetary emergency. We have to do something now – but what? Australian visionary Saul Griffith has a plan. Saul’s new book The Big Switch lays out a detailed blueprint – optimistic but feasible – for fighting climate change while creating millions of new jobs and a healthier environment.
Saul will be in conversation with Barbara Albert from 100% Renewables to explain exactly what it would take to transform our infrastructure, update our grid and adapt our households to an all electric future.
Billionaires may contemplate escaping our worn-out planet on a private rocket ship to Mars, but the rest of us, Griffith says, will stay and fight for the future.
