Stand up for renewables: contact your Coalition MP

Prime Minister Tony Abbott just upped the ante in his bizarre and devastating war on renewable energy. He has demanded the $10 billion investment fund for renewables -- the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) -- stop investing in any small-scale solar or wind power projects.

Tony Abbott's war on clean energy just keeps escalating. You've got to wonder when the PM says 'coal is good for humanity' if he really means dirty power is good for his electoral survival.

Australia should be a world leader in clean energy. Instead, the Coalition is killing off our share in a worldwide economic boom and with it, our chance to quickly and fairly transition to a clean economy. If they can't join the community, it's time for them to get another job.

Abbott's backbench is already starting to revolt. If we can convince enough of his backbenchers to speak out, we can slow down his maniacal attack on our burgeoning renewable sector

This Government's beligerent attitude towards renewable energy diminishes our chances of maintaining a safe climate.

Climate scientists are urging us to keep fossil fuels in the ground if we are to avoid catastrophic climate change. By stifling our transition to clean renewable power, Tony Abbott is taking us backwards, and making Australia a global pariah on climate change action. Please don't support these desperate, dangerous attacks on our clean energy future.

These attacks are ruining Australia's chances to be part of the clean renewable power boom.

Investment in renewables is taking off across the world. Many new wind and solar generators are now cheaper to build than new coal fired power. Last Thursday, Denmark provided 140% of its electricity needs from wind, selling the excess power to neighbouring countries. The Coalition's constant attacks on the clean energy sector is ruining Australia's chances of being leaders in this global energy transition.

This latest attack on clean renewable power will hurt jobs and investment.

The Coalition's attacks on clean renewable power give the impression to international investors that, when it comes to renewable power, Australia is not 'open for business'. The head of Bloomberg Finance in Australia has said this latest attack will make a difficult investment environment even harder. Your Government is putting thousands of potential jobs, and billions of dollars of potential investment at risk.
