In Episode 19 of First Fuel, Energy Efficiency Council CEO Luke Menzel is joined by Tennant Reed, Head of Climate, Energy and Environment Policy at Australian Industry Group, to discuss their recent paper on post pandemic energy and climate policy.

Luke and Tennant discuss the impact of COVID-19 on gas prices, electricity prices and emissions, the reasons these changes are unlikely to endure, and why a vision for net zero – and policy action to back it up – is more crucial than ever.
