The Greens Clean Energy Plan
Despite their words, the Brumby government has locked us into the continued use of fossil fuels. They are even trying to expand the number of brown coal generators.
The Victorian Greens support making rapid emissions reductions and supporting workers in carbon intensive industries like Hazelwood power station to re-skill and adjust to low-carbon jobs.
Labor’s new laws on Climate Change don’t require a detailed emissions reduction plan and ministers don’t even need to consider greenhouse emissions in approving projects in major areas such as land use planning, power generation or transport.
Let’s bury our coal-dependent economy in the ground and transition into a new way of doing business. Sustainable living using renewable resources is within reach.
