A DIGEST OF EVENTS AND ISSUES – JANUARY/FEBRUARY
Who Cares about Climate Change?
The Federal Government’s pathetic proposal to reduce carbon pollution, and the Opposition’s contention that even with this Clayton’s plan to tackle climate change “we’ll all be rooned!” both indicate that they are totally ignorant of the catastrophe threatening the planet, and that their first priority is to protect the profits of our worst polluters.

AN INITIATIVE OF LAKE MACQUARIE CLIMATE ACTION (LMCA)
Australia's electricity industry is in an unprecedented period of complexity, change and uncertainty. The industry is under pressure to deliver additional power to cover growing demand, while at the same time significantly reducing emissions. Doing both will be hugely challenging and very, very expensive for two reasons. First, our power is generated and delivered by the Westinghouse/Tesla system, which is little more efficient now than when it was when invented in the 1880's. Second, 92% of our power is produced by burning brown or black coal.
