Australia's journey to renewable energy, and why it has to include coal - for now.

Jeff Dimery is the CEO of Alinta Energy. From humble beginnings to where he is today, Dimery lays out the ups and downs he has faced.

In this chat, Dimery says Alinta is the biggest single investor in renewable energy in Australia and discusses slashing the defence budget to invest more money, faster, into clean energy so it can become a sustainable and viable option.

Jeff also reflects on Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins' decision to distance himself from the Alinta Energy sponsorship of the Australian cricket team and shares personal details about drawing his greatest inspiration from his mother.
