‘Solar Shindig’ at Port Stephens kicks of a pro solar energy campaign
Port Stephens residents show support for solar http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-07-20/port-stephens-residents-show-support-for-solar/6632316 Port Stephens residents have gathered to throw their support for renewable energy, demanding more government support for the sector.
The ‘Solar Shindig’ at Tanilba Bay attracted about 30 people and follows similar events across the country.
The Abbott government has recently advised the Clean Energy Finance Corporation not to fund wind or household solar projects angering supporters of renewable energy.
Shindig organiser Les Pinney said there is a lot of support for green energy in the Hunter.
“About 13 per cent of households within the Port Stephens area actually have solar installed,” he said.
“Renewable are our future, sticking with coal is putting the whole future economy of the country at risk.”

The Road to War brings a sharp focus to why it is not in Australia’s best interest to be dragged into a war with China which will almost inevitably go nuclear very quickly. The filmmaker has interviewed some of Australia’s senior foreign policy analysts who have vast experience behind them in analysing what really is going on here as the United States rattles its sabres with China. And sets us up to be its proxy, like the poor Ukranians have been fed into the Meatgrinder. So America can remain the Top Dog. The Road to War reveals how the United States through its spy base at Pine Gap and by stationing six nuclear capable B52 bombers in the Top End (without permission from the traditional owners) is making Australia a prime nuclear target if the current war of words suddenly melts down into full scale war.
The Road to War shows the implicit connection between Carbon emissions (the US military uses a whopping 70% of America’s annual petroleum to move its armies and vast War Machine around the globe to its 800+ military bases..but under a loophole wangled at Kyoto, the US military does not have to report its C02 annual emissions). The Road to War starts screening at selected cities and regional centres in March. See the trailer end for details.
