NSW Independent member for Barwon pushing for renewable energy

 Barwon Independent Candidate pushing for renewable energy and agricultural expansion Tuesday, 17 February 2015 Courier, The Independent Candidate for Barwon has a vision for the North West that doesn’t include mining but rather focuses on the expansion of agriculture and the construction of renewable energy systems.
Rohan Boehm toured Rowena, Pilliga, Burren Junction and Wee Waa last week sharing his ideas with over 200 people but also gauging which issues the communities feel are most important.
He says he’s been told improving water security and developing sustainable industries are top priorities for the communities he visited.
“Farmers and townsfolk are concerned about threats to their water supply in the long term,” Mr Boehm said.
“The most important thing about water security is to make sure we don’t have a coal seam gas industry, because nothing will impact more on water than coal seam gas.
“There’s simply no way that the company will guarantee that the
water resources will not be affected or won’t be polluted.”……..
Rohan Boehm also believes the north west is an ideal location for the construction of renewable energy systems.
“This region is the best in Australia in terms of access to population and space to install systems to generate renewable energy, this area could power Australia with renewable energy.”
The NSW State Election will be held on March 28. In the lead up to the election Wee Waa News will feature Greens, Christian Democrats and Labor candidates, as well as the current member, Kevin Humphries and their vision for the electorate. http://www.thecourier.net.au/news-feed/item/2871-barwon-independent-candidate-pushing-for-renewable-energy-and-agricultural-expansion
