Energy Security, Reducing Energy Costs and Mitigating Climate Change: Does Finkel Solve the Trilemma?

Professor Ross Garnaut AC Public Lecture on Monday July 3, follows the release of the Final Report of the Finkel Review. Hear from one Australia’s lead economists and energy experts on how Australia can respond to challenges that our electricity system faces.

Garnaut shines light on the areas of the review that need further exploration. This lecture discusses the trilemma of providing energy security at low cost while Australia contributes its fair share in the global climate change mitigation effort.
