Independent modelling found that Australia’s Federal Government National Energy Guarantee (NEG) would result in 6,600 less renewable energy jobs in 2030 than business as usual and that renewable energy investment could come to a standstill.  🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 The Government’s energy scheme could lead to renewable energy investment and jobs grinding to a halt, while it should be doing the exact opposite. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 Yet again, we see the importance of an independent voice in holding the Government to account.  🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 The EY research compared the projections for the NEG of 28% renewable energy in 2030 with a business as usual scenario. We found that the Government’s proposal would result in 8% lower employment than a business as usual forecast. That means fewer jobs in wind and large-scale solar PV construction and operation. This plan is actually worse than doing nothing.  🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 The modelling also looked at a 50% renewable energy scenario by 2030. Staggeringly, the Government’s initiative would result in 32% less employment. That’s over 20,000 fewer jobs in large scale wind and solar PV, and rooftop PV in 2030. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 Given our abundant wind and solar resources, there are countless opportunities for Australia to grow renewable energy and reduce pollution while doing so. Today, Australia’s Chief Scientist, Alan Finkel, released a report that found that securing 50% renewable energy could reliably power Australia without needing significant amounts of storage. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 #ClimateCouncil 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 If you would like to be part of the solution by utilising quality renewable energy products and would like to know more about getting safe, reliable battery storage for your own home, business or micro-grid visit us at http://quantum.GridEdge.com.au 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 #energystorage #alternativeenergy #Batterystorage #alternativeenergy #solaraustralia #gridedge #Sodiumnickelchloridebattery #saltbattery #moltensaltbattery #FIAMM #FZSoNick #saltwaterbattery #cleanenergy #thefutureofenergy #offgrid (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)

Accelerating Climate Action [⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀] • Australia is failing to tackle climate change with emissions rising and a lack of any coherent, long-term national approach to reduce emissions in the short, medium or long term. We are known as a global climate laggard. [⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀] • Failure to rapidly and deeply reduce greenhouse gas emissions increases the risk of deteriorating human health and well-being, massive forced migration and conflict, crippling economic damage around the world, and the Earth’s sixth great extinction event. • [⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀] • Australia is highly vulnerable to many of the consequences of a changing climate, from worsening heatwaves, droughts and bushfires, to devastating coral reef bleaching, and most of our population centres being exposed to sea level rise. [⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀] • Amongst the G20 countries, Australia’s emission reduction target – a reduction of 26-28% on a 2005 baseline – is unusually weak, nowhere near what is required for us to play our fair share in meeting 2°C Paris target. [⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀] • Renewable energy has already replaced ageing, polluting fossil fuels as the energy system of the future, with the installation of solar and wind systems globally doubling every 5.4 years. • Maintaining this rate of renewable expansion could see the world’s energy systems completely eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.

Many people purchase solar arrays and /or add energy storage batteries to an existing system in the belief that this will protect themselves against power outages. →→→ However solar arrays on their own won't do this as they are disconnected when the power goes out to make sure no power inadvertently gets transferred back into the grid to cause problems with anyone working on the lines. →→→ The same applies to some batteries. →→→ Windy weather tends to bring trees down on power lines, cutting off your power supply. For many people the need to protect themselves from power outages is becoming a more and more common occurrence and it is not unusual for it to take days for the power to be reconnected, particularly if you are not on a main line and other lines take priority. →→→ Sometimes people lose power due to storm damage to power lines but often it is power being cut off by power companies so that they can do maintenance on the lines. →→→ To continue to have power when the grid goes down you need to have a battery that is capable of and configured to be able to work independently from the grid. →→→ With our SoNick battery you can guarantee power supply, even if grid power goes down and the switchover is instantaneous so you may not even realise the switch to battery power has occurred. →→→ This is particularly important to people that rely on electricity to power machines, like CPAP machines, needed for health reasons. →→→ If you would like to know more about getting safe, reliable, recyclable, SoNick (molten salt) #batterystorage that works even when the grid goes down for your own home, business or micro-grid application visit us at http://quantum.GridEdge.com.au →→→ #energystorage #alternativeenergy #Batterystorage ##Solarbatterystorage #solaraustralia #gridedge #Sodiumnickelchloridebattery #cleanenergy #renewables #powersecurity #nomorepoweroutages #saltbattery #FIAMM #FZSoNick #CPAPmachine (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)

Australian states and territories are powering ahead, developing policies that will meet the federal government’s internationally agreed greenhouse gas emission targets, with South Australia, the ACT and Tasmania leading the race. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 Compared on a series of measures including penetration of renewable energy, the percentage of households with solar, as well as emissions and renewable energy targets, the Northern Territory, Western Australia and New South Wales are at the back of the pack, with Victoria and Queensland in the middle. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 in the midst of the ongoing federal policy vacuum, every state and territory besides Western Australia has “gone it alone” and developed strong renewable energy and emissions reduction policies. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 The shift to energy storage is now unstoppable. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 Australia needs to be looking seriously at energy generation using a combination of solar pv, wind generation and safe, reliable and recyclable battery storage. Beyond Zero Emissions have proven it can be done on a national basis. However, we need governments to get on board to support community projects that are working to make this happen. The responsibility can't all be left to grassroots people power. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 Governments need to support community groups that are already working to build local renewable energy solutions with renewable energy jobs like Mirboo North Community Energy Hub (MNCEH), @earthworkercoop and @votv who are working hard to bring safe renewable energy to the LatrobeValley. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 If you would like to be part of the solution by utilising quality renewable energy products and would like to know more about getting safe, reliable battery storage for your own home, business or micro-grid visit us at http://quantum.GridEdge.com.au 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 #energystorage #alternativeenergy #Batterystorage #alternativeenergy #solarstoragebatteries #solaraustralia #gridedge #Sodiumnickelchloridebattery #saltbattery #moltensaltbattery #FIAMM #FZSoNick #saltwaterbattery #cleanenergy #thefutureofenergy #offgrid (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)
