Chasing Coal - 24 JAN 09

What would you do with $1.2 billion dollars? Would you give it to polluters to maintain old, emission intense energy generation practices, or would you invest it in renewable energy to stimulate the new, local green economy?

The Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, has chosen the first option. Read about it in the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme White Paper released in December 2008.  

Check out this new video by Greenpeace which features a song "It's like paying someone to be a pr*ck" which was written by The Chaser's Andrew Hansen and recorded by a new group, the "Coaly Moleys". http://www.greenpeace.org.au/yourcalloncoal
