Australia waits for political action on energy future

Like many Australians, I am fed up with this ridiculous election. As I write, we all wait for the three Independents to decide on which political party will form government today.

At least, the Independents have surprised us in areas such as support for renewable energy, and climate change action.

With the success of the Greens in the election, some hope for action appears – perhaps not until July 2011, when the nine Greens will take their places in the Senate.

One wonders how much harm the nuclear/fossil fuel lobby can achieve through their servant parties, before July 2011
