Last year 10,000 times more wind generation capacity was installed than wave generation capacity. This doesn’t change the fact that wave motion energy is extremely constant and almost limitless, and we need it now more than ever. We talk to a wave motion engineer and pioneer and ask him the hard question, “why so little progress”. We also discuss if wave energy’s time is yet to come.
We interview Kristy Battista, CTO Global & GM Australia, of Allume Energy, an Australian company that’s developed the world's first behind-the-meter solar-sharing technology, for multi-tenanted buildings.

We interview Lynelle Johnson MD of E Class Outboards, an Australian manufacturer and a pioneer in the electrification of marine outboard motors.

Geoff Matthews discusses waste and recycling with Timothy Brake, a chemical engineer and waste management expert, and questions him on calling our current recycling and circular economy efforts "a fraud".
