Description

We've made it to ten episodes! Look at us, who would've thought? Last week we covered the history of climate policy in Australia and this week we're delving a little deeper into the great energy debate, focusing on our three main options for electricity production: coal & gas, renewables and nuclear. We weigh up the pros and cons of each, judging them by three main factors- their affordability, reliability and environmental impact. Jess sings a song, Sarah ponders the physics of catching gas and Zara reminisces on the Simpsons- it's all happening, you don't want to miss it!

As always, check out our website for a list of all the sources we reference throughout the ep, as well as a few extras!
