Do you support new coal and gas projects?
Answer
Victoria needs a race-to-the-top approach to renewables and an energy transformation plan with a target for 100% of our electricity to be generated by renewables by 2030.
We are already seeing the devastating impacts of global warming in Victoria and across the nation. Our rising temperatures, regular floods and worsening bushfires cannot be ignored.
Victoria must rapidly transition to 100% renewable energy, ending our reliance on fossil fuels. This means we must phase out coal by 2030 and develop a clear plan to end the use of gas in Victoria. I do not support any new coal or gas projects and I will seek to legislate a ban against new fossil fuels projects and public subsidies to the fossil fuel industry.
