We ran a clean energy campaign for the South Australian election in March 2006. Now the South Australian government has drafted
legislation to slash greenhouse pollution by 60 per cent by 2050 and to
set a target of 20 per cent renewable energy by 2014. The target is one

make a difference.
Shifting from fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) to clean energy industries reduces greenhouse pollution that fuels climate change. This switch is especially crucial for Australia, where climate change poses a serious threat.
