Mark Reilly - Living off the grid

Mark's dad was a Queensland policeman, so his family moved about often. The kids developed the ability to make new friends quickly and Mark says that some of his fondest memories were spent in remote parts of the state. As a petroleum geologist, Mark gets to spend a lot of time in the great outdoors. He's an advocate of alternative energy sources, setting his own home up completely off the grid, however, he does still see an environmental cost with things like the manufacturing of lithium batteries and the amount of plastics that go into the construction of say an electric car. In this podcast, we talk about the finite resources that lie beneath our feet. The legacy we'll leave our kids, alternative energy sources and why we still need to do more.
