To the Queensland government,
From droughts to bushfires, Queenslanders are living with the impacts of climate damage here and now.
Queensland can be a leader in clean energy. We could be powering our homes, our towns and our economy with good energy and new jobs, powered by the wind and the sun.
If Queenslanders own our clean energy, we can create thousands of jobs we can be proud of and bring down power prices.
We are calling on you to make public investment in big renewable projects a priority, and act now to:
- Get on with climate action: set stronger pollution reduction targets, and rapidly replace coal-fired power with clean energy
- Build publicly-owned renewables, starting construction of at least one large project by mid-2020
- Plan and fund a fair transition for workers in the energy sector
Let's get on with it!

The near future will show how necessary are renewables
The changing climate is one of the biggest threats on our health, our economy, our wildlife and on the future of our children. We need to involve communities now to a becoming zero-carbon society – we need it now!
Australia must move quickly into a sustainable model being an island with strong winds, surrounded by ocean and a powerful exposure to the sun. We have no excuse to change the path of disaster we are know and turn the tide to a sustainable living. We don’t need to be stronger, more powerful, we need to be good enough to survive as a nation and look after each other.
JOE (Just One Earth) if we do not do everything it takes to save this PLANET then there is no future!!!!!!!!!
Note recent Research (sponsored by WWF and others) into promoting more favourable attitudes towards change to renewables (heard today on ABC radio):
We Australians are highly capable of using/developing renewable technologies
We have endless renewable resources
We can be a world leader by investing in renewables and creating industries and jobs
