Why use Renewables?

Renewable energy is a smart solution to climate change. Renewables are the positive alternative to burning dirty fossil fuels (like coal and oil) for energy.

Renewable energy is:
• clean and safe for our communities and environment
• plentiful and won’t run out
• available now – and won’t cost us the Earth.

By investing more in renewable energy, Australia can become a world leader in the fight against climate change. We could create thousands of jobs, new investment in rural and regional Australia and establish Australia as a clean energy exporter.
