- Electricity and electrification is the efficiency we've been looking for. Inventor, author and founder of Rewiring Australia Dr Saul Griffith shares his vision to Electrify everything with The Big Switch. Saul talks through the 101 million machines within Australian homes and businesses that need to be electrified in the next 20 years that will lead us into a clean energy future. Saul's mission is to get clean electrification, eliminate all emissions, reduce cost of living and improve the health of all Australians.
Saul is an inventor, author, and successful entrepreneur. He has led dozens of research projects in energy, robotics, and manufacturing and founded and co-founded multiple successful companies. In 2007 he was awarded a Macarthur Fellowship, the so-called ‘Genius Grant’, for inventions in the service of humanity. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Oh! great I just read the book and its fantastic but this is much easier to email to my local member of government.
Crikey that was good...very concise, totally believable, possible and achievable.
Please Australia take note of this man.
no way this guy is a goos i would have debate on cc with this goon anytime.
@@patrickgullotta4938 what?
10million homes and
20million buildings in Australia.
20million vehicles in Australia.
10% of all rooftops will supply 660Gwh daily to the national power grid.
That is far more than the fossil fueled power plants can do.
The maths is simple,
@@patrickgullotta4938 I very much doubt it. You wouldn't even approach his level of genius. He'd chew you up and spit you out.
Inspiring! Amazing how Australia already has solar on so many roofs. We're way behind in the US, but we can get there.
GEV, Grid to EV, is the best way forward This capacity has to be standardised.
EV batteries are huge and free with every vehicle. Hahaha Hahaha.
Self parking EV will nuzzle up and onto a low mounted wall power point and trade electric energy and stability with the grid for money 23hrs a day. At every car parking space.
Governments not wanting to spend more on massive GRID expansion projects or generation plant expansion will love people paying to power the existing grid.

Surprisingly true and the sun shines in every state 10mths or more every year.
Burning a little gas in winter in some states or importing southern PV electricity would not be a problem.
GOP would love small government spend on the national grid.
Great talk. Love the slides showing the better efficiencies and lower costs
Brilliant! We just have one stink-car at home to go, but will have to use carbon offsets when visiting the replies in Indonesia (I know).
Thanks Saul, I'm on page 36 of your book - that's a lot of livestock!
I'm onto my 4 th electric car, solar water heating, heat pump hydronic underfloor heating, use off peak 85 percent electricity. In N.Z. high insulated house. It's possible to do all this now.
@Bruce Eyers, How much did it cost you. Also what part of NZ? What FIT is NZ paying, Unless same as OZ, comparing apples to Oranges,
4 cars in how many years? Sounds wasteful.
Great video highlighting the problems but omitts talking about the main solution. What's the point of electrifying all of Australia's needs if we don't have green electricity?
It doesn't matter. If you listened it's more efficient to go electric therefore less emissions. The main problem is the end cycle. It's cheaper to produce the power at the end of the line(the home) instead of at the power plant.
@@awill6912 solar is great but only half the solution. What's the point of converting gas fuelled appliances to electric if they use gas generated electricity. We need to focus on electricity storage options at the same rate we transition our appliances to electricity
Elon Musk is also building demand for his energy storage technologies and generation technologies.
All automotive manufacturers agree, that most vehicles are parked 23hrs a day.
EV big batteries are free with the vehicle.
Parked storage is 2,000gWh in Australia when all are EV.
This is DISPATCHABLE energy.
4 time more than fossil fueled power plants today. If you are lucky.
More flooded coal mines in the future ?????

@@stephenbrickwood1602 MORE DEAD PEOPLE. YOU DO REALISE THEY WANT TO REDUCE 'carbon"?
What about the emissions that go into making batteries?
"Electrify everything". Electric panacea.
I wouldn't worry. The A.I will sort all this out. Only people making the A.I are doing something useful
It’s not going to work.
Prove it
We can't afford not to try!
You’re right, let’s give up!
Ok, self-pity party over now?
We only have one choice, make it work. Or get out of the way.
We’ve done all the work and modelling, it’s not going to work. Short of wartime authority, it’s not going to happen. It’s the same Toyota issue.
This guy is a hack
No. What have you achieved?
How much of his profits from his book go towards subsidising ( or completely paying for) solar panels for low income families??
How will they install solar panels on high rise apartments or city office towers?
Subsidising low-income households is the job of the government.
I work in a sector which is involved in retro fitting strata buildings with solar. It's very difficult now, largely because of strata committees & building complexity & therefore higher costs.
Changing planning laws are what is needed to prevent the problems we are facing now.
Normally we find that replacing centralised gas hot water with a heat pump has better economics than solar PV.
@@guringai but you need to practice what you preach, to take the lead and inspire change show everyone how it can be done, not just being a self-promoting rabble-rouser. He’s just making a dollar out of it by promoting it. I hope the books were printed in a carbon neutral book printing factory!
@@paulsz6194 . Actually our whole program is dedicated to this cause of retrofitting.
What's your problem with Saul making some money out of the book anyway? He's put an awful lot of work into it. The book provides an excellent service to the community.

The maths is simple,
Saul mentioned every postcode needs a community battery. This allows ppl in apartments, or renters who can't install rooftop solar, to access cheaper excess solar power stored in the community battery.
It also allows ppl without a household energy storage battery to make use of their excess solar power in the evening, which would be sent to the community battery during the day.
The CZcams video...Dr Saul Griffiths explains why electrifying the economy is 'anti-inflationary'...is an interview where he talks about how the govt can spend on kickstarting the transition of household machines to electric..& that the returns to the economy would be many times greater than the investment.
