Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg Global energy crisis: Inside Australia's renewable energy transition

Professor Alistair Sproul has been building solar technology since the 1980s. As head of the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW, he's watched Australia lead the world in solar adoption often without realising it.
As the nation, and indeed the rest of the world, grapples with a mounting energy crisis and growing oil prices, I thought it would be a great time to revisit my chat with Alistair and his insights into Australia's transition towards renewable energy.
That transition isn't coming. It's already here. And it's happening faster than anyone in Canberra is telling you.
