Sign the pledge for a sun-powered Queensland
Rooftop by rooftop, communities across Queensland are nudging our sunshine state towards a sun-powered future. In fact, Queenslanders are world leaders at harvesting sunshine!
But too many people don’t have access to clean energy. They are being left behind with dirty old energy that’s damaging our environment and harming our communities.
We know we need to shift to clean energy, fast. To make this happen – and enable everyone, everywhere, to power their lives with clean energy – our government must step up and lead.
Right now, the Palaszczuk government is developing a plan to see 50% of Queensland’s power needs met by clean energy sources – like solar and wind power – by 2030.
We need to make sure this plan forms part of an orderly and fair transition to 100% renewables for communities and workers – there’s no other way.
With the gradual closure of coal plants around the country, it is critical that the Queensland Government implements an orderly transition to clean energy industries and jobs that are good for our health, our families and the communities we live in.
The Sun-Powered Queensland Pledge is supported by an alliance of businesses, faith groups, unions and environmental organisations. Click here to find out more.
Yes, I'll sign the pledge for a Sun-Powered Queensland and call on the Queensland Government to:
-
Make our renewable energy target law
-
Champion large-scale clean energy projects across our state
-
Accelerate renewable energy uptake and modernise the electricity system to support variable, dispatchable and decentralised energy
-
Phase out coal and gas-fired power stations in a smooth and orderly manner by 2035
- Help people who work in polluting industries and their communities transition to new jobs with a future
Sign the petition: for our clean, renewable energy future
Tell the Prime Minister to get on with it and fix our electricity system with 100% renewables
The Turnbull Government is planning a much slower transition to renewable energy, focusing its efforts on more coal-fired power. This is a backwards step for Australians who want lower power bills, more jobs, growth and investment in clean, renewable energy sources. Enough's enough!
We need a plan for a renewable energy future - not retrograde moves, party politics and pandering to the old-hat dirty coal industry.
Australia CAN be powered by 100% clean, affordable and reliable renewable energy from the sun, wind and waves, right now.
Renewable energy and storage CAN provide 24-hour clean power for all Australians - and it’s cheaper to build than new coal or gas - even energy giant AGL agrees.
Let's send a strong message to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that it's time to get on with a plan for a 100% renewable energy future, our nation depends on it.
To the Turnbull Government,
Clean, renewable energy is the cheapest way to upgrade Australia's ageing, inefficient and polluting electricity system.
I call on you and your government to urgently implement a plan for affordable, reliable and renewable energy for Australia.
An orderly transition to 100% renewables is better for our environment, our economy, our health and our future.
We call on you to commit to 100% renewable power by 2030 by:
- Providing a clear and reliable plan for our energy future
- Adopting policy which provides a quicker transition to renewable energy
- Following the cheapest and cleanest path to upgrading our grid.
