Report back – Diesendorf Renewables Talk at the Conservation Council

robyn June 17, 2015

A great talk last night In Conversation with Professor Mark Diesendorf at the Conservation Council, letting us know a roadmap to SA becoming 100% renewable in 15 years. He explained why nuclear is definitely the wrong way to go.

The Conservation Council have an auto petition email you can send to Premier Weatherill to ask him to go renewable – at the link.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and said hello at our FOE stall.

The Conservation Council’s latest report shows we can build on SA’s world-leading success and get to 100% renewables in just 15 years!

Conservation SA commissioned leading energy expert Dr Mark Diesendorf to investigate the feasibility of 100% renewable electricity for South Australia by 2030. The report finds that this is entirely achievable even without supportive Federal Government policies.

You can view or download a summary of the report’s findings or the full report.

Most exciting is that we don’t need to wait for a supportive Federal Government: to seize this opportunity we just need our State Government to act.
