SwitchedOn podcast: Saul Griffith wants “consumer army” to plug in and fight back

August 27, 2025 by Anne Delaney Leave a Comment

Dr Saul Griffith joins SwitchedOn Australia live on the Gold Coast to talk about his new book Plug In! and why households are central to driving Australia’s clean energy transition. He explains how electrification can cut emissions fast, save money, and reshape the way we use energy at home and in our communities.

Saul shares insights from his career advising governments, including his role in shaping the US Inflation Reduction Act, and his work with Rewiring America and Rewiring Australia. He speaks candidly about consumer power, culture wars, and the politics of accelerating change.

And he makes the case for an ‘army of consumers’ to demand a better deal from Australia’s energy system.
