Solar, Wind and Water Industry Plan
Alternative energy has long been seen as a key element in providing
solutions to environmental concerns such as global warming, pollution and
the threats associated with nuclear power. Today on Earth Matters we attend
the launch of the Victorian Solar, Wind and Water Industry Plan at the
offices of the Electrical Trade Union in Melbourne. The Industry Plan is a
joint venture of unions, industry and Earth Worker and seeks to move from
fossil fuel energy sources to renewables.
Leigh Hubbard, Secretary of the Victorian Trades Hall Council begins by
outlining his commitment to the plan and how he intends to put the Trades
Hall building on to Green Power - that is, power that's sourced from
renewables.
We also hear from Dean Mighell of the Electrical Trades Union, Leigh
Snelling of Moreland City Council and Dave Kerrin from Earth Worker.
"No Jobs on a Dead Planet" Launch and Forum
Earth Workers' "No Jobs on a Dead Planet" tour included a range of events
around Melbourne culminating in a forum at Trades Hall. Speakers included
VTHC Secretary Leigh Hubbard and Greens Senator Bob Brown.
Today we hear from Green Bans activist of the 1970s Jack Mundey on the
alliances that need to be built, and Yorta Yorta woman Monica Morgan on the
challenge faced by taking in to account indigenous social justice concerns.
