1
Who hasn't been shocked by a recent electricity or gas bill?
2
And who isn't infuriated that power prices have risen so sharply?
3
In a country as abundant with resources as ours, it defies logic that now some Australians can't even pay for the energy to cook a simple meal.
4
While our fast-talking but divided politicians scramble to act, Tonight, Elon Musk, the American billionaire with the brilliant mind, wants to explain how he can help fix Australia's energy crisis.
5
And to prove his point, he's prepared to put his money where his mouth is.
6
It's peak hour in Australia.
7
I need a NOS bookie.
8
I can't.
9
They want a record of it.
10
And we'll find out what's happening.
11
Towns and cities are lighting up.
12
Public transport is on the move.
13
And family homes are coming to life.
14
Inside a control room in Sydney's west, staff from Transgrid, the company charged with ensuring the lights stay on, work the phones.
15
The number two tie and number three tie, 135.
16
Calling in power from generators all over the state.
17
Half the population has dinner at 6 o'clock, irrespective, so they do it.
18
The other half have it dinner when it gets dark.
19
But keeping Australia's massive East Coast power grid functioning has never been so hard.
20
It's a lot like spinning plates.
21
And we move from one to the other, solving problems on the power system in real time to keep the lights on.
22
And for so many Australians, power has never cost so much.
23
People are living on yesterday's food.
24
Oh, yeah.
25
Well, when I have lunch later, it won't be yesterday's, it'll be Monday's.
26
And it's Thursday today.
27
Australia is in the grip of a power crisis, crippling costs.
28
and unreliable supply.
29
But there's one man who can't understand why.
30
Australia is really perfect for solar power because it's not too far north or too far south.
31
You could have the entire country be solar powered or some combination of wind, solar, geothermal, hydro.
32
The electric car maker Tesla Motors are up.
33
Elon Musk is the Tesla man, an American billionaire whose developments of electric cars and space rockets is seeing technology push the boundaries like never before.
34
And it's all driven by his belief that if we are to survive climate change, we need to develop renewable energy.
35
Australia could actually export power to Asia.
36
There's so much land there that you could actually power a significant chunk of Asia.
37
And to prove his point, Musk is building a massive lithium-ion battery powered by wind turbines in Jamestown, South Australia.
38
The battery is designed to help stabilise the grid, but Musk is also hoping it will be a lightbulb moment for the world.
39
You have to do these things that really get the world's attention.
40
Otherwise, they just don't believe you.
41
They don't think it's possible.
42
What do you want the rest of the world to see?
43
I really want the rest of the world to see that you can do a very large scale, The 100 megawatt system is really quite enormous.
44
This is three times more than the next biggest battery in the world.
45
That's just a giant, giant jump forward.
46
His interest in our energy crisis started last year, when South Australia, a state already heavily invested in wind and solar power, was plunged into darkness.
47
the result of a massive storm that saw the state lose power.
48
Elon Musk tweeted headfirst into a national political brawl when fellow billionaire Australian IT whiz
49
Mike Cannon Brooks questioned Tesla's boast that it could help solve South Australia's energy problems by building the world's biggest battery.
50
Why did you do that?
51
There was no idea of what would happen afterwards.
52
Just more if people make big claims like that.
53
I'd like to check if they're real.
54
You thought I was joking.
55
Because I had to check with my team.
56
It's like, I hope I didn't really say something super crazy.
57
When you get a return tweet from Elon saying, yeah, what did you think?
58
Sweet.
59
Just checking he's kosher.
60
You know, he says it's going to happen.
61
Let's make it happen, right?
62
These are public tweets.
63
Yeah, but in a way, that's part of what locks in the guarantee, right?
64
He's putting his reputation online in a public forum there that, you know, enough noise was then created around it, enough people saw that, that it was like, all right, you know, he'd better get that done.
65
Cannon Brooks did a crash course in renewable energy, and he quickly realised there were plenty of Australians who backed the idea.
66
I got multiple unsolicited offers for tens of millions.
67
I think we added up to more than $100 million in offers that came in.
68
It was amazing.
69
It was inspiring as an Australian to see people wanting to solve this problem in a real and meaningful way.
70
And I think they're just sick of the politics on all sides and the ridiculous nature of our energy situation at the moment.
71
But Elon Musk's battery plan was mocked by the federal government.
72
30,000 South Australian households could not get through watching one episode of Australia's Ninja Warrior with this big battery.
73
Australian Treasurer Scott Morrison was particularly dismissive.
74
By all means have the world's biggest battery, have the world's biggest banana, have the world's biggest prawn.
75
I didn't realise there was this big battle going on.
76
I didn't know.
77
It was like Mr. Hollywood's walked into town.
78
Okay.
79
And it was like, well, you know.
80
Do I seem Hollywood?
81
Maybe.
82
But our treasurer, Scott Morrison, declared that this was just a shiny, you know, distraction.
83
Okay.
84
And that it was akin to.
85
Well, it's shiny.
86
It is shiny and it's akin to the big pineapple or the big banana.
87
It's just one of those kitsch kind of...
88
I'm not sure what...
89
Wait, is that a real thing?
90
They're a tourist attraction actually.
91
Oh look at my...
92
Is it like the world's biggest banana or something?
93
Something like that.
94
Okay.
95
Well, are you disappointed by that?
96
Oh, I think, you know, we get that all the time.
97
It can be a little disheartening sometimes.
98
Yeah.
99
Yeah, sometimes.
100
Yeah.
101
Why did the government mock Elon Musk?
102
Well, Elon Musk's battery was a fraction of the size of the Snowy Hydro scheme.
103
It was sold to the people of South Australia as an answer to their woes by Jay Witherall, Whereas in reality, it is just a fraction of what that state needs.
104
Everyone is fair game in what is now a high-stakes political power play.
105
Electricity, the supply, but particularly the cost, is constantly gnawing away at the federal government and its Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg.
106
The fact is that politics has failed Australians, hasn't it?
107
We have failed to deliver to Australians for years now an essential service.
108
Well, the argy-bargy in Canberra over the last decade has not helped lower power bills.
109
In fact, it's created the uncertainty in the market, which now industry is demanding be fixed.
110
That's why the National Energy Guarantee offers us that opportunity for the first time in more than a decade.
111
The National Energy Guarantee aims to make the system more reliable and ultimately ease the nation's financial pain.
112
But the savings for households are predicted to be minuscule.
113
We have what's called power poverty.
114
I'm seeing people who are saying, how can it be that, you know, I'm going to get a miserable 50 cents a week perhaps and I'm supposed to applaud that.
115
Well that's just a Labor Party distraction and distortion.
116
Is that not true?
117
That is not true.
118
So what will they get?
119
They will get up to $115 a year saving.
120
And when they say a couple of hundred dollars truly, you're out of touch?
121
You'd say?
122
A couple of hundred dollars reduction in your power bill means a lot to a lot of people.
123
people and it's just the start of what we are seeking to do.
124
Under the Labor Party, your bills will go up by hundreds of dollars.
125
That's what the modelling shows.
126
No longer are we allowing the Labor Party to pursue an ideological approach.
127
You see, they'll hate that politicking.
128
They'll hate you saying that because that's just more politics.
129
Well, the reality is that politics is a battle of ideas.
130
Our idea is a national energy guarantee put forward by the experts.
131
It allows for a greater role for renewables.
132
It keeps coal and gas in the system.
133
It makes up for the mistakes of the past.
134
And importantly, it lowers power bills.
135
For pensioners like Brian and Faye Willett, all this talk doesn't mean much.
136
they still have to tailor their lives around the electricity bill.
137
Thank you.
138
Thank you.
139
Mostly it means meals are basic and require little cooking.
140
Today it's a bread roll, leftovers salvaged from the local bakery.
141
One thing we need to do is make sure we keep the curtains shut because that's going to keep the heat out.
142
Do you live your life around trying to keep that power price down?
143
Yeah, I'd never really thought of it like that, but yes, that'd be pretty right.
144
What do you do?
145
Through winter, we did not use the heater once.
146
We tend to use blankets, put on two pairs of socks instead of one or wear the UGG boots.
147
It's stuff I presume that before you took for granted.
148
to some ways it feels like survival rather than living.
149
It seems strange that life is becoming much harder as we get older.
150
More than ever, Australians are struggling to pay for their power.
151
A record number of families are on hardship plans or deferred payments, and the rate of disconnections in most states has risen sharply.
152
For Elon Musk, learning of this growing power poverty is overwhelming.
153
Cost of power is making it almost a luxury item.
154
Wow.
155
Really?
156
Really?
157
I didn't realise it was that expensive.
158
Australia has so many natural resources.
159
I mean, even if you go the fossil fuel route, the electricity should be very cheap.
160
There are Australians today wondering if they can even turn on their lights.
161
There are Australians today wondering, well, should we go without some food?
162
Sure.
163
That's just not something you would ever expect.
164
I did not expect that.
165
Hmm.
166
We work harder.
167
For Musk, it's frustrating because for him, the solution is so simple and in abundance in Australia.
168
The whole point of renewable energy is to make for a cleaner environment and frankly, save the planet.
169
The majority of scientists are emphatic that we're witnessing dramatic climate change.
170
not to fully embrace renewable energy is suicide.
171
It's necessarily true that we will live on renewables.
172
It's just a question of when.
173
In fact, it's in the definition that if it's not renewable, that means it's going to run out at some point and you will have the choice of collapse of civilization and into the dark ages we go, or find something that is renewable.
174
So all of this is about saving ourselves.
175
Yeah.
176
Coming up, now?
177
Yep, pouring now.
178
The billion dollar energy business in our own backyard.
179
This is like hidden gold, isn't it?
180
They call it the new oil.
181
And how to slash your electricity bill.
182
This is it, this is the battery.
183
We'll serve as an inspiration really to the whole world.
184
This is possible.
185
That's next on 60 Minutes.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
