BABY BOOMERS FOR CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION
HAVE LAUNCHED A PETITION:
ASKING GOVERNMENT TO KICKSTART SOLAR
BY FUNDING LARGE BASELOAD SOLAR POWER STATIONS.
~~~~
It would mean a lot to us if you took a moment to add your name because:
• Unless CO2 emissions drop dramatically in the next few years, the planet is likely to heat up by 4°C by the end of the century, making parts of it uninhabitable for most species, including ourselves.
• Australia
• This is because of the massive amount of coal we export for coal-fired power stations, as well as our own domestic use. And our coal exports are rising rapidly.
• Australia
• A plan for Australia NSW , SA and Queensland
• The switch to renewable energy is possible but needs full government support to get started and encourage investment. The cost of three Baseload Solar Power Stations is estimated at approx. 1 billion dollars.
• The Carbon Tax introduced in 2011 was a good start but will not have an effect on investment in renewables for around 15 years, which is too late.
• We believe the government needs to take the hard decisions to fund large baseload solar power stations and make them viable as a matter of urgency.

After you've signed the petition please also take a moment to share it with others. Together we can reach heaps of people and help create change around this important issue.
Thank you!

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
