Chris Sobey, Greens candidate, advocates renewable energy for the Murray River region
Renewable energy ‘in 15 years’ Border Mail By DAVID JOHNSTON Aug. 27, 2013 NSW Greens MP John Kaye yesterday used the launch of the campaign of Farrer candidate, Chris Sobey, to promote the party’s push to make the state electricity supply 100 per cent renewable.
Dr Kaye and second-time candidate Mrs Sobey used the backdrop of the Murray River to sell the virtues of a 100 per cent renewable energy future within 15 years…… Mrs Sobey contested the 2007 federal poll and stood in the NSW election in the same year.
“We have let the health of the river go for too long,” she said. “The news from the climate people is shocking. “The extreme is going to become the normal. “The cost of bushfires, drought and flood relief in the long run all increases the gross domestic product.
“We should be prepared to use debt to change things over to renewable energy and increase the GDP by building things.” http://www.bordermail.com.au/story/1733034/renewable-energy-in-15-years/?
