The Australian Solar Council has previously targeted numerous marginal electorates in opposition to cuts to the 2020 renewable energy target (RET) but is now flagging a much larger campaign with a multimillion-dollar budget aimed directly at the prime minister, Tony Abbott.But there's more. This of course is on top of the Green's and Labor's vehement opposition to Abbott's Big Oil trashing of renewables and the planet. Indeed, Abbott's war on wind and sun is developing the perfect storm of opposition, particularly amongst the Lieberal voter base of industry and small business which is fighting for it's very survival in the wind and solar business's.
“If the Abbott government is returned and has control of the Senate, our industry is finished,” the council’s chief executive, John Grimes, told Guardian Australia. more
Larissa Waters, a deputy leader of the Greens, said Arena’s new funding round was “a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak outlook for renewable energy in Australia” and she would welcome a double-dissolution election fought on clean energy issues.I note all this shit hasn't even begun to wash up in polling yet. How's that $20,000 small business budget bribe working out for solar small business's now I wonder? Perhaps they might be using it to contribute to the death of the Abbott gov? :)
On Tuesday the Labor leader, Bill Shorten, visited wind energy company Vestas Wind Systems in Melbourne to urge Abbott to “stop his war on windfarms and his assault on solar”.
“Mr Abbott needs to come out here and see the real jobs being created by renewable energy,” Shorten said. “There are literally thousands of jobs in the balance and billions of dollars of investment ... Why is Mr Abbott so stuck in the past that he is missing the jobs of the future?” more
Talk about timing. Fucks sake how dumb is Abbott? Am I wrong or does that small business $20,000 come through right about now at the end of the financial year and beginning of the new? *shakes head*
The senate will say no anyway, along with everyone else. Another futile captains call that spews political pain for no gain.
BTW, Murdoch has entered the fray as usual. WTF? *shakes head* Ha ha ha ha ha..... Bloody hilariously WTF?
