A Bright Future

Opinion, Weekend Sunrise

Australia’s future is in solar energy.

Consider this. Since 1977 the cost of photovoltaic cells (PV) has dropped by over 99%, from $76/watt in 1977 to $0.36/watt in 2014.

Watt does that mean? Well a typical 4 kW system – which can essentially power all household needs – is now about $6,000. Solar panels are constantly getting cheaper and more efficient and they will continue to do so.

Surviving Hitler

Journalism, Weekend Sunrise

28 June 2014

We interviewed this 91yo Holocaust survivor yesterday.

There was such passion and vivid detail in his story I was almost crying (Andrew O’Keefe too). Harry is one of the last people who physically experienced the Holocaust. His story is as close as you can get to understanding what happened. I am honoured to have heard it.

Below is the extended online edition of the segment that was broadcast on Weekend Sunrise.
