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’S IMPERATIVE! REVISITING A TAX ON CARBON!
*Pressure to include discussion on the re-introduction of a tax on carbon at the forthcoming Productivity Round Table is growing increasingly stronger.
*For the previous four months an 'ecological catastrophe' has been occurring along Adelaide's coastal beaches!
* Sharks, stingrays, fish, sea dragons, shellfish, cuttlefish, eels, razor clams are dying along South Australia's coastline: a great white shark on Henley Beach!
*The ecological disaster is caused by a massive algal bloom of Karenia mikimotoi. Algal blooms reduce the oxygen levels in the water which suffocates animals with gills.
*The recent unanimous ruling by the 15 judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has very significant implications for the governments and decision-makers in Australia and other countries that are emitting significant amounts of Greenhouse gases through the mining and burning of fossil fuels at home - AND are exporting fossil fuels to other countries to burn!
* Through July 2025, 19,592 solar batteries were installed in the 3 million Australian rooftops fitted with solar energy systems!
* This increases the total stored electricity battery capacity (not including that in the increasing number of EVs) by 344 MWhs (344,000 KWhs).
* From July 1st, 2025 households and businesses with rooftop solar systems installed or being installed can get around 30% (depending on size of battery installed) off the total cost of a battery.
This is the question addressed in a new book called Waste Wars: Dirty Deals, International Rivalries and the Scandalous Afterlife of Rubbish by Alexander Clapp (2025).
'The combined weight of everything made by humans now outweighs every living thing on Earth!' [ref: Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, 2020]
Plastics weigh more than twice the weight of all marine and terrestrial animals: buildings and roads outweigh all trees & shrubs!
- The latest research report from Saul Griffith's not-for-profit organisation 'Rewiring Australia' demonstrates unequivocally that complete electrification of the average Australian home means energy cost savings of $4,100.00 per year - the quickest way to reduce your energy costs - both now - and FOREVER!
- The Electrification Tipping Point'Report [available to download free from www.rewiringaustralia.org] provides the evidence that Australia is one of the first countries in the world to 'pass an electrification tipping point in home energy economics'

Electrirfying Bradfield are meeting with all the Federal Candidates in the upcoming election. We intend to make electrification and community led energy a major issue for voters in this election.
The 3rd of April was an important day for members of 'Electrifying Bradfield'! It was the day that members of 'Energyze North' and 'Electrifying Bradfield' had the opportunity to meet with Nicolette Boele, Independent candidate for the federal seat of Bradfield. (see photo).
This is the Rewiring Australia deck. It shows how electrification combinations can save a household money. Included are capital costs and interest charges.
