Daily Energy News Podcast | Snowy 2.0 Pours Underground Concrete & The Rooftop Solar Waste Crisis

In today's episode for Saturday, 26 September 2026, Snowy Hydro marks a major engineering turning point as crews begin pouring permanent concrete one kilometre underground inside an excavation the size of the Sydney Opera House—even as management sits on its unpublished cost review. Meanwhile, a federal parliamentary inquiry into solar stewardship hears explosive testimony from UNSW researchers revealing perfectly functional panels are being ripped off roofs at just two years old, with battery rebates threatening to decommission up to 20 million modules annually. We also explore thermal building science showing why coating dark roofs must precede solar installs, Exploren's $30 million public fast-charging expansion, and Tesla Semi entering high-volume production.
