-- Expert comment on Earth Day --
Earth Day is this Wednesday, 22 April. This year’s theme is green generation or
renewable energy.
Australia, and Victoria in particular, has an excellent climate for producing
renewable energy from the sun, wind and water but we barely use enough of it.
Australians also continue to waste the electricity we produce.
How can we better manage our energy usage?
What can we do about improving the storage of renewable energy?
How can we better manage the production of renewable energy and make it more
efficient?
How can we make using renewable energy more cost-effective and attractive to
consumers?
What are the costs involved in creating the infrastructure for generating renewable
energy?
RMIT University’s Dr Andrea Bunting is an expert in wind power, renewable energy
policy and environmental technology policy.
A lecturer with the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing
Engineering, Dr Bunting is available for interview on Earth Day and the need to
better manage our energy usage and renewable energy production.
