Power Companies Lobby Government to reduce Renewable Energy Targets.

 

I'm no greenie or tree hugging hippy but I do believe that we should do our best to look after the planet.

 

A poll taken by the Guardian Newspaper 2/12/14 says, "Almost 90% of Australians support renewable energy target". Why then has investment in renewable energy, according to a Climate Council report broardcast on ABC News 10/11/14, dropped by 70%?

 

The answer is simple. Power companies are lobbying the Australian Government to reduce the RET. They want to squeeze every last drop out of a dying fossil fuel industry, to maximise profits, to the detriment of Australia and the rest of the planet. "Fossil Fuel", kind of an ironic title for an out dated energy source.

 

You might be thinking, "Well what can we do about it?" I'm glad you asked.

 

Go to http://www.powershop.com.au/ and switch energy providers.

 

They're one of the lowest cost energy retailers in Victoria and part of the Meridian Energy Group, a 100% renewable generation company generating only 100% zero carbon renewable energy.

 

I am in no way affiliated with Power Shop or Meridian Energy Group. I don't receive any money or favours (Sexual or otherwise) from them. I just think it's a great way to do our bit for future generations and to 'stick it to the man' at the same time.
