none Europe tried it Didn’t work for them but the nutz here think it will work for us You’ve been sold a bug lie
Comment from : Earth-ling

It's interesting how Australia is ahead of Southern California in terms of solar panels and it's flipped in terms of electric vehicles On our small street we have 24 homes with 31 Tesla Model 3 or Y

You don’t need lithium for household storage batteries
Comment from : David Chin

great content thanks
Comment from : z

“Regulatory Stick” is exactly what’s needed!
Comment from : Ben

Australia is way ahead of NZ in terms of solar It’s awesome to see such a move Hopefully policies in NZ will encourage instalment of solar and energy storage seems (either lithium-ion or alternatives like flow batteries, molten salt etc)

we need the aid of robots to help compete!!!

The ABC needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants tress

Godbless
Comment from : Emma fuentes Baltazar

what bs there is no overall recall except for 1 car maker in aus, hybrids are not EVs fgs do your research, total lazy journalism
Comment from : Lloyd Jordan

the battery should be kept indoors in a cool moisture free enviroment
Comment from : Adam Sauer

it's a shame that there's energy driven poverty in Australia with all solar potential
Comment from : Noob Gamer

NSW makes illegal electric/hybrid powered skateboards, scooters and bikes it would be fair to say progress is extremely slow from a public perspective
Comment from : Ed Tamworthishome

So the test of this is the governments of Australia are holding Australia back from keeping the country up with the rest of the modern world Also it doesn’t seem to matter which political party you vote for because both have policies that are making us fall behind
Comment from : sashwrin

Kinda think this didn’t really ‘promote’ the move to more sustainable approaches to energy and transport - is there an agenda here?
Comment from : Ewan McEwan

dont allow greedy corporations to control renewables
Comment from : GroovyVideo2

The problem is that the norm is to turn a blind eye to anything which does not provide a direct benefit That is human nature which has to be identified

So the Tesla's engine starts and revsplease sound guy let's not mislead!
Comment from : OutbackEV-Hunter

a 30 minutes program and not a single mention of how having only 5 percent of cats be electric v2g is equal to double what the entire grid would need to store renewable energy
Comment from : monoham1

Credibility was lost to me when we heard the Tesla start it's engine at 3:49

Battery for cars is shit, electric cars are shit

Thanks for the extra tax Dan!

3:48 That tesla has a V8 under the hood by the sounds of it
Comment from : Luke

Who lined filled Sussan Lay's purse?brAutomobiles didn't get catalytic converters because magic pixie dust convinced manufacturers to install them
Comment from : Andrew Day

Go H2 Australia! Plenty of sunshine, solar and water around you to use to convert to Hydrogen Batteries are not big enough for your trucking fleet either Or build your own battery industry instead of shipping your lithium to China Or you can recycle the batteries from China - which sounds a bit dumb You want to be dependent on a country that hates you?
Comment from : DavidJMa

It's only going to become more obvious that uranium is the best current solution Unfortunately is the only illegal one
Comment from : Jason Whittle

Government needs to step in and heavy the cost of solar and batteries!
Comment from : AJ

Victoria has NOT proposed road user charges because they have been in place for 6 months already

The Sydney Report
Comment from : david pearn

Individuals shouldn't be the ones fronting the cost for solar power and solar storage The entire electricity grid needs to be nationalised if you want REAL steps to be taken in moving towards renewables Solar panels and storage shouldn't be on homes, built in this haphazard network of people who can afford it They should be in large battery plants and solar farms where specialised staff and engineers can safely work with these batteries If everyone has enormous LI ION batteries in their homes you're going to have a lot more house fires brAlso: Private electricity companies are chasing profits and having Individuals generate their own power is a threat to that so they will hamstring it as much as they can If you were to nationalise them so they weren't chasing profits they will not be hamstringing renewables brTL;DR nationalise the energy grid, and have solar farms and battery plants rather than sticking it in people's houses
Comment from : Jarrod

Lithium is NOT a rare nor expensive material It is abundant in the world, but not easy to harvest Cobalt is, but is not so big part of batteries as it was in the past But recycling is cheaper than mining Toxic chemicals are in OLD batteries, like carbatteries and throwaway batteries Ofcourse recycling is good, but Lithium-Ion and LFP are not as harmfull as PB-car batteries
Comment from : Philip Winkelhorst

Wow, the comments are actually on for a change

This article is CRAP THE LNP is costing you Just because they need Big Business to fund there Election Bottom line you are being played
Comment from : Robert Hayes

Vote Australian Greens and get commonsense
Comment from : Robert Hayes

Vote Australian Greens and get the future you deserve
Comment from : Robert Hayes

all we need to do is get multi national renewable companies to fund private schools, 10 or 20 years later all senior politicians will be highly in favour of renewables
Comment from : David Boson

So if they’re wanting to charge home owners for supplying electricity when there is an over supply ,will they do the same to coal and gas power plants to have an equal market?
Comment from : owen bradshaw

I enjoyed that! It baffles me why Ausnet's Northwestern project in Victoria isn't taking advantage of the vast Railway network to position its new towers rather than upsetting folks with compulsory land acquisitions The Murray Basin Rail network and the Wimmera Networks are ideal for shifting the steel necessary to build towers either beside or above the tracks which you would think would speed up build times Infrastructure building in Victoria is somewhat obtuse and based on vested interests
Comment from : J M R

The engine noise dubbed over the Tesla 😂
Comment from : David Brooks

How much of energy produced will need to be used to cool the battery banks?
Comment from : Diego Montoya

Interesting - not a pessimist, but it might be a good idea to think very carefully about the environmental footprint of the Battery industry end to end before jumping in boots and all It may end up not being quite as green s as we may think now Perhaps at the end of the day something like hydrogen might work out to be a better solution…
Comment from : mwmentor

From 'concerned citizen'br(I will try this approach)br I think bushfires in Australia, Brazil, America recently had the effect of a massive carbon dump into the stratosphere, that carbon has a much greater heat retention ratio brWhen the carbon laced atmosphere in the equatorial areas that the atmosphere is more pressurised collectively picks up much more moisture and increases in its density and pressure than it would In initial conditions before that carbon dumb moves up and mixes with the lower temperatures and pressure atmosphere from the north on the onset of winter as those temperatures mixed the lower temperature atmosphere drops forving the higher temperature higher density moisture saturated air upwards with convection up very rapidly brAnd as you can seebrThat's what I thinkbrbrOps wrong article
Comment from : Fun Gi

This have happen almost the same way in my own countryfirst the government offered subsidies for the installation of solar systems to sell the energy back to the electricity companies, now they cut on the value they pay the solar investors that have now more expenses paying back the credits some due to the programbrSolar only work for the planet if the capitalist motif for the electricity companies is cut ofotherwise is just another green washing campaign
Comment from : The Big Chill

We get some of the highest levels of sunlight in the world but have hardly any mega solar farms, we have some of the largest deposits of Lithium but we don't make our own batteries from it, we have one of the lowest uptakes of Ev's in the world but our government wants to put taxes on them instead of subsidise them Our leaders have rocks in their heads, coal rocks that is and dollar signs in their eyes
Comment from : jedics

Why don't they just use the recycling facilities currently in use for cars, phones, hdtv, computers, printers, catalytic converters and nuclear power plants?brOh because those facilities don't exist
Comment from : Interglacial Optimist

Make it all in Australia, batteries, panels, new and emerging tech - but by properly funding the CSIRO, the inventor of wi-fi!
Comment from : LureThosePixels

Just like the gov has the foresight to charge EV owners for using roads: The gov should charge people who have homes with solar, especially those with batteries, for not consuming coal and natural gas generated power Compensate the power companies for lost revenue by the greedy homeowners dodging thembrbrGreedy EV owners!
Comment from : anywhere roam

1 There should be a system to enable to charge the electric car from the house battery charged by solarbrbr2 If the price of the electricity purchased by the power companies is slashing why it is not being reduced for us consumers
Comment from : Dr PK

In regards to battery recycling The best option, no regulation nice Producers of goods need to be held accountable for what they produce and sell Needs to be a part of the desgn of the good Easy repair, reuse/recycle strategies that must be adhered to and checked Not just a free lunch
Comment from : Nick Keller

I would be able to afford a new electric Ute if it was a bit cheaper You have to buy solar at the same time too
Comment from : Nott Environmental

Why doesn't Sky News Australia run stories like this ?
Comment from : peter havord

At 3:40 you show a Tesla starting up & pulling away with an ICE CAR sound effect! WTF???
Comment from : Robert M

For a country blessed with so much solar potential it's shameful it's not making the most of it
Comment from : jools2323

Poles and wires There a Hamster wheel segment based on this Lol
Comment from : Arcage Buttons

The only non catabolic from of "green" energy is hydro electric, others will break down before they cleanly pay back the emissions costed to make thembrbrNuclear will never be on the table because of the hysteria sorrounding it and hydrogen energy will actually provide the effect that people fear from nuclear, eg: acidifying the ocean
Comment from : Reluctant Reader

Is there any solar or battery cell manufacturing in Australia?
Comment from : Scott Fraser

A most interesting story about renewable energy in Australia It’s clear that governments must have a clear and integrated system approach and policies to support a renewable energy market I hope that this channel follows up on the community battery project As an interested Malaysian I would like to see this happening in my country but in a very informed way
Comment from : Ismail ‘Nye’ Yusof

Funny, their’s an expectation that batteries are recycled But NEVER the expectation that C02 is recaptured What a pass for 100+ years
