Realpolitech Podcast: Can Australia Afford Net Zero?

As many countries waver on Net Zero targets, Australia has set a new ambition for carbon emission reductions by 2035. Realpolitech dives into a sobering coversation with Professor Michael Brear (University of Melbourne) and Chris Greig (Princeton University), leaders of the Net Zero Australia modelling and advisory project. They say the 2035 target is not possible with current policies. Nuclear should be considered, carbon capture at scale is vital, and the government needs a serious execution plan backed by funded policies, not just announceables.
