Net Zero, Fossil Fuels & Australia’s Energy with Chris Uhlmann | Episode 10

Australia’s energy future is one of the most pressing challenges of our time — and one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode of Jaimee & Jaimie, we sit down with journalist and political commentator Chris Uhlmann to unpack the realities behind energy policy and the road to net zero.

We cover:

  • Net zero: what it is, where it came from, and if it’s achievable

  • The role of fossil fuels in everything we eat, wear, move, and build

  • Australia’s push towards wind and solar, and whether nuclear is a real option

  • How the green transition affects our economy and security

  • Why gas is essential — and why it sets the price of electricity

  • Global use of Carbon Capture — and why Australia's slow to adopt it

  • Chris’s view on what Australia’s future energy mix could look like

This is a frank, fact-based conversation that cuts through the slogans and dives into the real costs, risks, and opportunities in our energy future.


🎧 Tune in for an unfiltered look at energy, economics, and the choices Australia faces.
