Australia is transitioning towards renewable energy, but it is just as necessary to consider the transition away from fossil-fuel based forms of electricity production. Changing the status quo means making hard political decisions, fighting vested interests, and making sure that ordinary people aren't left behind.
On this episode of Earth Matters we look at Hazelwood Power Station as an example of the obstacles to transition.
Guests:
Nick Aberle from Environment Victoria's Replace Hazelwood campaign
Wendy Farmer from Voices of the Valley
Colin Long from Earthworker Cooperative
Bec Horridge, Jacob Gamble, Judith Peppard, Phil Evans
