| Dear Neville —
Momentum is building to replace Hazelwood with clean energy. Late last week, over 200 of our closest supporters joined us to hear from energy experts about the end of coal, and why we need to replace Hazelwood. The event was a huge success.
Roger Dargaville, from the Melbourne Energy Institute, told us that the age of coal is over, but that if left to the market, Hazelwood will linger on because brown coal is so cheap. That’s why we need to build the pressure on the Labor Government to intervene to replace Hazelwood.
John Grimes, from the Australian Solar Council, inspired us to keep up the fight for renewables and for the clean energy future we need. He said we can already power our state with the renewable technologies we have – all we need is to shift the political landscape.
The clearest message to emerge from the forum was that we have what it will take to replace Hazelwood — people like you. Everything tells us it is time to replace Australia’s dirtiest power station with clean energy, and the only thing lacking is political will. That’s where you come in.
On Saturday, October 10 we will door knock inner city marginal electorates and ask people to join our campaign to Replace Hazelwood. Sign up now to be part of the Day of Action at www.replacehazelwood.com.au/dayofaction.
Together, we can make replacing Hazelwood the only option for the Andrews Labor Government.
Thank you for standing with us to replace Hazelwood with clean energy,
Ellen, with Adam Bandt
