To launch the Energy Futures events season presented by the RMIT Regenerative Futures Institute, we're putting energy under the microscope with our first RFI Explainer.

We're surrounded by claims about energy. Some are true. Some are spin. Most sit somewhere in between.

This live session takes big energy claims and puts them under the microscope – bringing together sharp minds from science, economics and journalism to work out what really holds up.

Hosted by Tamara DiMattina, founder of Buy Nothing New Month and multi awarded The New Joneses, expect straight talk, a few surprises, and a clearer view of the state of energy in Australia. 

Come with your assumptions, have them rattled and then stick around for refreshments as we launch the premiere RFI Events Season. Your chance to connect with others who want to build a regenerative future.
