“There is still good reason to feel positive, due to the rising support for renewables among the community, business, local councils and state governments. Big businesses are standing up, going to 100 per cent renewables. And financiers are backing renewable energy projects rather than plants that pollute.

What this tells us is that economics wins. Business, financing and the grass roots community is driving the change.” John Grimes
