Turnbull’s “innovative” crippling of ARENA  

logo-ARENAANU and UNSW, Independent Australia,  30 August 2016 Following on from the destruction of the CSIRO, the Turnbull Government plans to cripple the Australian Renewable Energy Agency’s (ARENA) funding. We have reproduced an open letter from academics at UNSW and ANU urging public support to save this vital agency.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM ANU AND UNSW ACADEMICS

Australia’s endangered solar research THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT plans to strip the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) of most of its funding as well as its ability to make grants.

This is an existential threat to renewable energy research, innovation and education in Australia.

After the fiasco involving CSIRO climate scientists, we now have a potential fiasco in mitigation of climate change. Remarkably, the ALP, which established ARENA when in government, may allow this to happen.

We call upon all political parties to support retention of ARENA……..https://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/turnbulls-innovative-crippling-of-arena,9411#.V8Ur0j5jSY0.twitter
