Australia’s Liberal Coalition selling out our children’s future, to get support of coal industry

Coalition out of step on renewable energy http://www.thecourier.com.au/story/1726125/coalition-out-of-step-on-renewable-energy/?cs=64 By Michael Weadon Aug. 23, 2013

The renewable energy sector now employs more people than the car industry with a fair proportion in the Ballarat area.

A survey by AECOM consultants found 65 per cent of businesses support an emission trading system and only seven per cent support the Coalition’s misguided direct action policy.

Unfortunately the development of clean energy and the associated benefits for Ballarat and the globe as a whole are being held back by the promises of Mr Abbott’s coalition.

Why does the coalition support a policy that is not supported by scientists, economists and business leaders?

I can only guess that the coalition are willing to sell our children’s future to win the support of the now dying coal industry. A myopic view at best.
