Clean, renewable energy is the positive alternative to fossil fuels. It is viable, enduring, effective and safe. The clean energy industry is thriving, employing thousands in Australia and constantly growing. Many Australians already power their homes with clean energy.Greenpeace wants to increase Australia's renewable energy use, working with the community, industry and government.

Neither burying greenhouse emissions underground (geosequestration) nor nuclear energy are solutions to global warming.

Saving energy


Polluting coal is our main power source so it's important not to waste energy. Government and industry create 80 per cent of greenhouse emissions but your daily energy use also contributes to climate change. Save energy, save money and reduce your impact.
