A lot of climate change campaigners have been haranguing Australian government officials to commit itself in the protection of the renewable energy target or RET, like using ecologically certified power inverters. The ongoing campaign for the government to stop any potential changes and threats towards RET, has been demanded by campaigners during a forum that happened.
The claim that renewable energy target is the key to make up for the job losses in South Australia. Many industries have fallen and campaigners believe that the occupational opportunities lie in renewable energy. However, Senator Nick Xenophon still refuses to make any promises. He only opted to make negotiations open for RET. On this tangent, the Federal Government has actually reviewed the situation and recommends a significant scale back of the renewable energy scheme and it is expected to respond to the report as soon as possible.
Even though this issue has been given a lot of attention by the government, campaigners are still unhinged. "Nick Xenophon has a critical vote in the Senate, along with other crossbenchers, in being able to say to the Government that they're not going to accept any cuts to the renewable energy target, so his vote's really important," Daniel Spencer, an Australian Youth Climate Coalition representative, said. He also mentioned that South Australians want Senator Xenophon too support the implementation of renewable energy.
It is a fact that South Australia used to be a leading supplier of wind and solar energies. However, the uncertainty the government has placed upon RET seriously impacted its production. There is now a deep concern towards the potential job losses of South Australians working for the renewable industry.
However Senator Xenophon has been facing a lot of difficulties trying to convince the government to back RET up. He is worried about double dissolution issues that could potentially risk the outcome of the negotiation. He wants to push solar energy and other environmental friendly power sources, such as the invention of ecologically best pure sine wave inverters, but if something goes amiss all of his chances would only disappear.
The senator assures South Australian workers that he will do whatever he can to fix the issue. He has become one of the biggest advocates for climate legislation and has actually placed a number of amendments towards the Government’s proposals towards direct action legislation. In the mean time, South Australia’s RET industry worker will continue to push their advocacy Try to maintain the production of ecological power sources and inverters.
