AGL’s Liddell Closure A Tipping Point For Australia’s Energy Transition
The final closure of AGL’s Liddell coal-burning power station, starting today and culminating on the 28th of April, is a win for the climate and a major tipping point for Australia’s transition to clean, renewable energy, says Greenpeace Australia Pacific. Australia’s biggest climate polluter AGL will today start the process of shutting the remaining three of four units at the 50-year old Liddell power station in New South Wales. The heavily polluting power station – one of Australia’s most unreliable and decrepit – will be replaced by large amounts of wind and solar energy, coupled with big batteries.

After 7 years, we won!
After 7 years of campaigning together, Greenpeace supporters just ended one of the most destructive fishing methods in the Australian tuna market. And here’s how we did it. Have you heard the news? Greenseas just agreed to immediately end the use of destructive fish aggregating devices (FADs) that needlessly kill countless sharks, turtles, rays and a host of other marine life. In less than two weeks, over 18,000 Greenpeace supporters emailed or Facebooked Woolworths asking them to dump Greenseas until they ended this destructive behaviour. In response to the mounting public pressure, Woolworths held emergency talks with Kraft/Heinz, the…
