There’s no doubt that In the past few decades, solar and wind energy have made
The wind and solar power myth has finally been exposed remarkable progress; they’re now satisfying significant portions of our energy demand. But there’s one major problem holding us back from relying on them even more: They can’t be stored very well. Bryan Leyland - a consulting engineer from Auckland, with experience in all aspects of the power industry, underlines this harsh reality with Michael McLaren.

The week in federal politics with Michael McLaren and Dennis Shanahan
National Editor of the The Australian Dennis Shanahan reveals a recent poll indicates middle Australians haven’t fallen for the Budget and believe it could actually push up inflation.

Michael questions why all the corporate and sporting bodies are getting behind the Voice? What about the shareholders? It’s for individuals to make up their own minds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
