The Science Show – The path to zero carbon energy

We are told we need to decarbonise our energy systems by 2050 to avoid pushing the Earth’s temperature up by more than 2 degrees. More than 2 degrees will see very bad consequences for food production, weather conditions, water supply, natural ecosystems and in some places, the ability for humans to even exist. The uptake of clean generating capacity is happening faster than expected. Even so, are we on track? Will we make it? What are the obstacles and where is the hope? We join Robyn Williams and a panel of energy experts at Brisbane’s World Science Festival in March 2017.
