"Time for common sense"
http://www.getup.org.au/campaign/ClimateActionNow&id=638

It's time for some climate common sense. That's why we're launching this simple ask:

Invest more in renewable energy than you hand out to big polluters."

Yesterday Kevin Rudd announced more than a billion dollars in extra handouts and compensation to big polluters, bringing their haul to $8.4 billion this year alone.

In comparison, the Rudd Government has invested less than half that amount in renewable energy.

Investing in renewable energy means we don't have to wait for the CPRS to get started tackling climate change. And it means we can stimulate the Australian economy and create clean energy jobs for hundreds of thousands of Australians, starting right now.
