As Yes 2 Renewables coordinator, nothing fires me up more than job losses. Too many good people have been retrenched due to the Abbott government’s prolonged attack on the national Renewable Energy Target. People from welders and metal workers, to engineers and planning analysts.

The Abbott government has become more isolated with its attack on renewables.

As the policking around the Renewable Energy Target continues in Canberra, communities in regional Victoria are standing up for the scheme.

Yes 2 Renewables’ good friends in central Victoria, the BEAM-Mitchell Environment Group, have thrown their weight behind the national Renewable Energy Target as the Abbott government seeks a deal with crossbench senators to wind back the popular scheme.

Friends of the Earth’s campaigns coordinator, Cam Walker, has chimed in to the Renewable Energy Target debate with a letter published in The Border Mail.

The wind industry in Victoria takes a much needed breath of fresh air as the anti-wind Coalition government steps down from power. The anti-wind veto laws, and the scrapping of the state’s renewable energy target will now have a better chance of coming back into the political spotlight.

Friends of the Earth welcome the appointment of Lily D’Ambrosio as Victoria’s Minister for Industry, Energy and Resources and Lisa Neville as Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water.

Yes 2 Renewables call on the Napthine government and Andrews opposition to support a Victorian Renewable Energy Target as South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill announced the state will lift its ambition to 50 per cent by 2025.

It’s not actually dead. But…

A thousand people march for climate action in Geelong.
