[Greens-Media] Vic left behind as NSW forges renewable future

[Greg.Barber at parliament.vic.gov.au]

Victorian Greens leader Greg Barber has called for the Napthine Government 
to replicate their NSW Liberal colleagues' policy of equipping public 
buildings with solar panels.

"While the NSW government has vowed to install solar panels wherever 
possible on public buildings, the Napthine Government is standing in the 
way of renewables," Mr Barber said.

"Premier Napthine has stood back while power company monopolies impose 
additional solar charges, cut feed-in tariffs and refuse solar customers 
access the grid. These policies have raised household energy costs and 
continued Victoria's harmful fossil fuel addiction.

"While NSW is vowing to become Australia's answer to California, Premier 
Napthine is dooming Victoria to becoming Australia's Detroit.

"The Greens ask Denis Napthine to follow Mike Baird's lead and install 
solar panels on public buildings wherever possible," Mr Barber said.
