Electrifying Bradfield is about doing what we can to support adoption of renewable energy within the Upper North Shore. We have a vision of a cleaner, cheaper energy future made possible by the electrification of our houses and transport. This vision is heavily influenced by Saul Griffiths and 'Rewiring Australia'.
Electrifying Bradfield works mainly using volunteer time. Contributing $50 goes a long way to helping us run solar information nights, attend markets and fairs and provide educational materials.
Note that Electrifying Bradfield is a not-for-profit, although not a certified charity (DGR).
Confronting Four Aussie Myths About Action Against Climate Change!
In reading and listening to much corporate and social media commentary and in conversations I have with people there seem to be four very common Aussie myths about climate change and energy and actions we need to take!
All of these myths need to be challenged!
MYTH 1: ‘Coal exports are essential to our future economy’ – WRONG!

This is a question I am asked often when people talk to me about ‘climate change’
Simple answer –
WEATHER – is the day-to-day conditions of things like:
*sun [sunny, cloudy, partly cloudy, overcast] and temperature, [hot,warm,cold]
*precipitation [drizzle, showers, rain, dew, frost, rain, storms, hail, snow]
*wind - strength[gentle, light, strong, gale, tornado] & direction

- AUSTRALIA TO SIGN AGREEMENT TO END PUBLIC SUBSIDIES TO INTERNATIONAL FOSSIL FUEL PROJECTS!
- Australia is expected to sign an international agreement between a group of western countries to end public money subsidies for international oil, gas and coal projects: A major and significant step to phasing out o0f fossil fuels!
- The signing is part of the United Nations international agreements on climate change action!
- The way forward for Australia in this Clean Energy Transition Partnership Agreement was created
- This month marks the 50th Anniversary of the discovery of the technology that changed the production of solar panels!
- It is the scientific breakthrough that is now the basis of over 90% of all the world's silicon solar panels.
- In 1974, Martin Green was a PhD candidate in the Department of Engineering at the University of NSW when he began his interest in solar energy.
- While there were solar panels already available their efficiency in terms of energy produced (watts) was extremely low. He set out to remedy this.

- CONTEXT: Energy analysts noticed anomalies in the records of electricity energy use in a number of Asian countries - notably Pakistan, and also other developing countries in the world [Saudia Arabia, UAE, Oman,Phillipines, Thailand, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Madagascar]where the constant provision of fossil-fueled grid electricity cannot be guaranteed and where there are regular long interruptions to supply.
- SOLUTION: Installation of rooftop solar!
- Lawrence. M. Krauss is an internationally recognised theoretical physicist, winner of many national & international awards for his research and writing.
- He is an educator- scientist who specialises in demystifying the often complex ideas related to the physics and science of our world and our universe.
- His latest book 'The Physics of Climate Change' (2024), Head of Zeus/Bloomsbury Press, London.
- If food waste was a country then it would be the THIRD biggest source of CO2/GHGs in the world!
- 3 kgs of food waste results in the equivalent of 23 kgs of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere!
- Easy answer - COMPOSTING!
- Whether you are an apartment dweller or a homeowner there are easy-to-use compost systems suitable for you!
- Just have a look around your local garden shop/ hardware store - OR go on line to your local Council website.
- Don't be a food tosser! Be a food waste compostor instead!

- One of the comments that was made frequently in recent public meetings held by Electrifying Bradfield Inc. in Gordon and Turramurra- and also in conversations with visitors to the recent KRG Council Sustainability Futures Day was 'well I don't want any Chinese-made solar panels ... electric cars...
BREAKING NEWS! Electrifying Bradfield Inc. installs the first 'Cool Seat' Composting system in Ku-ring-gai!
* Today, Monday 4th November, 2024 is a day that many children and their carers in Ku-ring-gai will remember!
WHY??
* Because today, members of Electrifying Bradfield Inc., with a great deal of support and help from Michael Mobbs, installed the first amazing 'Cool Seat' Composting System in Ku-ring- gai! - at Burra Brui Preschool in St Ives!
*Burra Brui was the first of two lucky winners of a 'Cool Seat' - FREE!
- In what is exciting positive news the NSW government released the outline of its Consumer Energy Strategy last Monday.
- The 'Strategy' plans to spend $238.9 million on a Home Energy Saver Program over 2024/2027.
The 'Strategy' includes:
* $30 million for apartment dwellers to install solar systems:
'Solar power is growing so quickly it is set to become the biggest source of electricity on the planet my 2035!' This is the evidenced prediction from a recent Special Report 'Dawn of the Solar Age' by the highly respected British weekly economics magazine, 'The Economist'. (Clint Jasper & Peter Martin, 3/6/2024).
* While data shows Nuclear power is barely increasing and SHRINKING proportionately in global power sources - SOLAR is growing so quickly it will become the biggest source of electricity by 2035.
