  • ''(i) Australians want to embrace new, clean [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy renewable energy] technologies to deal with the challenge of climate change,''
  • ''(ii) Australians support a future based on new renewable energy industries rather than a continuing reliance on coal or a move to nuclear power, and''
  • ''(iii) the renewable options of more [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel solar panels] (91 per cent support) and more [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbines wind turbines] (82 per cent support) were favoured alongside the proposal of reducing overall energy consumption (78 per cent support); and''
  • ''(b) calls on the Government to introduce effective policies that will result in significant clean energy investment and greenhouse abatement through support for:''
  • ''(i) the renewable energy market, by extending and expanding the existing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_renewable_energy_target Mandatory Renewable Energy Target], a renewable energy trading ‘green’ certificate scheme,''
  • ''(ii) the increased deployment of solar power through dual market of continuing the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic photovoltaic] rebate scheme and introducing a feed-in-tariff,''
  • ''(iii) energy efficiency markets, by introducing a national energy efficiency target and an energy efficiency trading ‘white’ certificate scheme, and''
  • ''(iv) a transition to clean energy, by introducing a carbon emissions target and carbon emissions trading ‘black’ certificate scheme.''
