Wind and Solar and Storage.
The science is clear. Shifting to clean renewable energy sources is the only way to protect communities
The science is clear. Shifting to clean renewable energy sources is the only way to protect communities from worsening and more frequent floods, storms and bushfires. And Australia already has what we need to make it happen: an abundance of wind and sun. Our nation is already well on its way to embracing renewable energy industries that create jobs and lift up local communities.
Wind and solar - backed by storage - is the only real option to provide clean, affordable and resilient energy now as we phase out climate-wrecking coal and gas.
“More than 40 organisations, with millions of members and supporters in Australia, call today on the Federal Coalition to produce real policies and targets that could ratchet down climate pollution this decade.
“If the plan is to wait for nuclear reactors, you are saying a big yes to more pollution from coal and gas, and a no to reducing emissions now.
“The Federal Liberal Party lost government in 2022 in large part because of their very poor climate policies and delivery. They will be repeating this in the next election unless they can shift their focus from unworkable, dangerous distractions like nuclear reactors.”
