The Wire

As world leaders are gathering in Nairobi, Kenya, for the United Nations Climate Change Conference to discuss the changes needed, there have been some changes back home. It is the states that are putting forward their own policies to introduce mandatory renewable energy targets. Last Thursday New South Wales announced it would commit to a 10 per cent renewable target by 2010 and a 15 per cent target by 2015. So just how does the NSW policy compares to other state policies? The Wire asked Ben Pearson from Greenpeace just how effective the policy will be, along with Jane Castle, Energy campaigner for the Total Environment Centre.
