Federal Renewable Energy Bill
With climate change and an every decreasing pool of non-renewable
resources, there is clearly a need for Australian society to move away from
their dependence on fossil fuels as the primary energy source. The Federal
Government's Renewable Energy Bill goes a small way to achieving this, but
it's not without its problems.=20
For example, just what is considered a renewable energy resource? Is it
just wind, water and sunshine, or is it also our native forests? Libby
Anthony is the general manager of the Alternative Technology Assocation,
and today she joins Earth Matters where she begins by outlining the content
of the current Renewable Energy Bill.

The Solar Sailer
Well while the energy sector is being forced to move just slightly away
from fossil fuel dependency with the Renewable Energy Bill, others are are
moving ahead independently with innovations that remove the need for
polluting fossil fuels. One such person is Robert Dane, the inventor of the
Solar Sailer a large boat set to be used as a commercial ferry service on
Sydney Harbour. Jim Beatson spoke to Robert Dane, who begins by describing
the Solar Sailer.
