How green is green electricity?
Written by Michael Harries President of the North West Environment Centre (NWEC) Tasmania is regarded as one of the very few countries, or in our case states, that generates 100% of its electricity through renewables. Not quite true as we have a gas fired power station but let’s park that problem for now. To achieve 100% renewables all but one of Tasmania’s great rivers and several smaller rivers had to be dammed.
