"The Real Cost of Net Zero" - CHRIS UHLMANN - YT CLIP - YT COMMENT - TIMESTAMPS - PEOPLE INTERVIEWED GRAPHIC CREDIT | |
| # VIEWS | |
| 1 | INTRODUCTION |
Synchronistically, I watched this last Saturday night on SkyNews. An ABC journalist, Chris Uhlmann, presented it. It nicely connected the moving parts between generation and consumption of electrons over the 70 minutes. The YT clip was dated 27 Nov 2024. The situation may have progressed. Update us, if you know. | |

I first heard him on the radio in the early 2000's. His TV presentations have joined a few knowledge gaps. If you're curious about him, click here. // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Uhlmann | |

| 4 | YT COMMENT |
From a subscriber, "victorpower2983", 9 months ago: "This is the most thoroughly researched journalistic presentation that I have ever viewed on the energy transition. It is world class and is an exceptional effort in pursuing accuracy. I am a highly experienced electrical engineer who was communicating one on one with Chris on this subject back before he left the ABC. I presented him with a paper that I prepared in 1994 on how a power system works. He was well worth engaging with because I recognized at the time that he listens to reason. He has taken this issue on board with journalistic diligence. This feature is exceptional." | |
