SAVE ARENA: Tell the government to stop the $1 billion cut. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) is under threat – again. The Federal Government plans to strip $1 billion in funding from ARENA in an ‘Omnibus Bill’ set to be introduced to Parliament any day now. ARENA has been absolutely crucial in supporting Australia as a global leader in renewable energy research over the past several years, including development of the most efficient solar PV and solar thermal technology in the world. Don’t let the ‘innovation’ government cut $1 billion from the agency that has helped Australia lead in renewable energy research and development – email the Federal Government now and tell them to save ARENA.
