What’s been going on in Week #6 of the election campaign?<\/p><\/div>\n

If jobs and growth are really the cornerstones of the Coalition\u2019s election campaign, they\u2019d be well served by promoting a more pro-clean energy platform, according to a report released by the Clean Energy Council.<\/p>\n

CEC Get Excited About Job Creation<\/h2>\n

Our renewables roundup starts this week with the remarkable findings of the council\u2019s Renewable Energy: Future Jobs and Growth<\/em> study which shows that 28,000 jobs would be created nationally by moving to a 50 percent renewables target by 2030. The study showed that jobs lost in closing fossil-fuel powered energy would be more than compensated by those created building, operating and maintaining clean energy installations.<\/p>\n

Labor Promise To Reverse CSIRO Cuts<\/h2>\n

To the related subject of climate change and there was plenty of talk (finally) in the election campaign about the need to take climate change seriously. Remember the most important challenge of our time? Labor\u2019s Kim Carr has promised to reverse damaging cuts to the climate division of the CSIRO saying $250 million will be provided over four years to restore funding and prevent jobs cuts. Whether that will be enough to stop climate scientists from finding jobs overseas is another matter altogether!<\/p>\n

Women More Concerned Than Men About Climate Change<\/h2>\n

More women are concerned about climate change than men, (83 to 71 percent according to the Pew Research Institute). While it affects both genders, does the difference reflect the fact that women are more vulnerable to climate emergencies?<\/p>\n

Malcolm To Save The Great Barrier Reef?<\/h2>\n

Both parties have made their pitch to protect the Great Barrier Reef from the effects of a warming climate. Here\u2019s Malcolm Turnbull announcing a plan that includes concessional loans for clean energy projects.<\/p>\n

Voters Are Bored & Cynical<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile the Fin \u00a0has run a report saying how difficult it is to engage \u201cbored, cynical\u201d voters. May we suggest the major parties throw the switch to issues that resonate with Australians? Like renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions?<\/p>\n

Go Solar Citizens!<\/h2>\n

Finally in our election renewables roundup for this week, the Solar Citizens group are launching a campaign calling for 100 percent renewable energy by 2030. Want to join up and tell your local MP and candidates you care about clean energy? You can vote here.<\/p>\n
