Renewable Energy is on the Decline

At the same time as all of this, the renewable energy industry in NSW is on its last legs. Next year the Federal Government's mandatory renewable energy target (MRET) will expire. Unless other measures to promote investment are introduced, growth in renewable energy industry will stall.

If the NSW government legislated a state renewable energy target of 15% by 2012, and 25% by 2020, it would spur up to $3 billion in investment in clean energy products and 2000 new jobs in NSW.

Not only would this provide us with clean energy, but we could start exporting clean energy instead of climate-changing coal
