Powering Up
Former chief scientist Alan Finkel shares his compelling insights and expertise and makes the case for Australia leading the way in the global transition to clean energy.
The clean energy transition is humanity's biggest ever economic challenge. In Powering Up, former Australian chief scientist Alan Finkel shows how to remove the barriers that prevent nations from transforming from petrostate to electrostate.
Finkel considers the entire supply chain, from raw materials through power infrastructure, the workforce, transportation, and household customers. He reveals the outlines of a new geo-economic order and explains in persuasive, practical terms how we can get there.
If governments, investors, industry, and consumers get this right over the next three decades, history will judge us as the generation who ushered in the Electric Age and helped to save the planet. The world will be transformedβwith Australia, if we seize the opportunity, as a global leader.
