In October 2024, Chris Nelder, host of the Energy Transitions Show, visited the world’s first all-electric farm while traveling across New Zealand. He spoke with the farm’s co-owner and co-founder, Mike Casey, about the farm and the work of Rewiring Aotearoa to electrify millions of fossil fuel machines.
"Mike travels extensively across Australia, New Zealand, and major cities across the globe as an evangelist for electrification, encouraging communities to electrify and go solar. His farm serves as a real-world demonstration of these principles in action."
Because Mike’s work is so inspirational and universal, Nelder made this episode free for all listeners to enjoy in full.

Whether you're looking to lower costs, reduce emissions or increase resilience, it increasingly makes sense at an individual, community and country level and ACT's Todd Stephenson, who bought an electric Jeep around one year ago and built his new home in Queenstown to run on electrons, is a good example of that.
