Clarke and Dawe absolutely nail the Australian energy debate

RenewEconomy has spent more than five years analysing the energy debate in Australia, and comedians John Clarke and Bryan Dawe may have spent only a few days.

But in their latest episode, an interview with “Wal Socket”, they have absolutely nailed it. We can’t think of anything else to say, but to invite you to watch it.

    John Clarke is a genius. Everything he touches is gold.
    In two and half minutes he has shown he is the smartest man in the room when it comes to Australia’s energy woes.

        Ah yes, but just like so many other notable kiwis we will claim him as our own.
        Except Russell Crowe. You can keep him.

    The “Market” has failed, pass laws allowing the “Market” to be sued, sue them bankrupt and re-nationalise the system.

    Yep they summarise it perfectly.

    And probably THE greatest thing about being 100% off grid . You don’t buy energy your buying a system that works.

    Everything I might say has already been said in the comments made so far. Except for the fact that it would be hilarious if not so true.

    Haha, “I’ll try and imagine there is some [government policy]”.

    Have a look at this petition to get some government policy on energy:

    This is one of the greatest pieces of comedy, satire and the awful, awful truth – we will never see it’s like again. Vale John Clarke.
