Sarah Sinclair: Energy specialist discusses the ability of NZ to produce enough renewable energy for a nation of electric cars

There has been much discussion this week about the Government's decarbonisation deal with Bluescope Steel.

The Government is contributing $140 million so the Glenbrook Steel Mill can swap half of the coal it currently uses with electricity.

Questions have been asked as to whether if we become a nation of electric car drivers, how are we going to generate the energy we need and do we have enough renewable energy?

Sarah Sinclair is the Chair of law firm MinterEllisonRuddWatts and an energy specialist and she joined Kerre Woodham.
