I agree 100% with 100% Renewables. It is unconscionable that, with today’s scientific proof of the dangerous health effects of carbon pollution created by fossil fuel based energy production, such as coal and coal seam gas, that our ‘leaders’ fail to lead us to a zero carbon pollution future.
Until very recently, the Australian Federal Government still subsidised the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $10 Billion each year while giving renewables just $1 Billion. At east now, their Clean Energy Future Bill is a start of something better but they still support dirty electricity production. The NSW Government lags behind even these basic changes.
The solar power industry in NSW has been ruined by our government’s abandoning of a fair feed in tariff. The sensible parity feed in tariff doesn’t appear to be forthcoming. Investment need to made in wind, tide and wave power. These resources NEVER run out. Fossil fuels will. It’s a very simple concept. I don’t know why our governments don’t get it.
