Greenpeace petition
Greenpeace is holding an online petition to be presented to Kevin Rudd to stress the need
for an Energy [R]evolution away from fossil fuels - to a future in which Australia is a true
leader in technologies like solar. The government is making positive noises about adopting
serious climate change measures. But there is also the real prospect Australia's powerful
coal lobby and political scare mongering could block vital progress.
The best antidote to corporate self-interest and partisan politics is public pressure.
We need to demand the future we want, and demonstrate a willingness to stand up for it.
So check out the website and sign the petition: www.greenpeace.org.au/energyrevolution.
