    Solar Panel Rebates petition

    G'day all,

    This is important. The Gov. is looking at removing rebates for buying solar panels. This is a ridiculous concept, if anything we should make having solar panels mandatory in any new or renovated house. Considering how much sun we get per year the gov. should be encouraging us to use more solar power.

    /rant
    Opinion: I reckon they're getting ready to sell off the energy companies, and they don't want them to lose any value like Telstra did. Bloody money money money - the gov. these days tries to make a profit. The gov. is not a company! It should be aiming to break even, not make a huge profit!
    /rant off

    7's sunrise has a petition up to lobby the gov. against it, please go and have a look.

    Their write-up is "
    Sunrise is actively fighting global warming with its campaign to COOL THE GLOBE.
    We've shown how solar energy can help - with the sun able to force energy back into the electricity grid.
    But our Federal Government has already slashed solar electricity rebates and is planning to phase them out completely by the middle of next year.
    SIGN our on-line petition now to stop it from happening
    "

    Go to http://yahoo7.com.au/sunrise and click on the "Cool the Globe" picture to sign the petition.

    Yep, this sucks. They are rolling in money and they don't want to spend any to help the environment or people in remote areas.

    The only way to stop this happening is to sell a solar panel manufacturer on the cheap to one of the ministers. Maybe that's what this is about

    Done. The comment I made is that not only do solar solutions for houses save on power bills they also SAVE WATER.

    The amount of water consumed by power stations in generating electricity is staggering.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I thought they removed the rebate a few years ago or was that only concerning SAPS and RAPS?
