South Australia leads the country in renewable energy. Building solar thermal at Port Augusta should be the next step in SA’s renewable power upgrade, providing new jobs and on-demand clean power.

But we need leadership from the South Australian Government to make it happen. Right now, the SA Government is looking for solutions following the closure of the Port Augusta coal station. Will you email your State Government MP and Members of the Legislative Council and tell them to make solar thermal in Port Augusta the next step in SA’s renewable revolution?
