Saul Griffith is an engineer and entrepreneur specialising in clean and renewable energy technologies. He has founded and worked with technology companies across 20 years in Silicon Valley USA and in Australia. He is author of ‘The Big Switch’ (Black Inc Books) and ‘Electrify’ (MIT Press), and most recently ‘Plug In’ (Black Inc Books). He has recently turned his attention from his independent research and development work to writing on policy and regulatory aspects of getting to Zero Emissions. This work is done through Rewiring Australia and Rewiring America — non-partisan organisations dedicated to the electrification and decarbonisation required to meet our climate goals. Saul’s talk will mix the details and politics of getting to zero emissions with our failure to communicate the beauty of, and why we should seek a peaceful harmony with, our home planet.
