Default Sunrise Solar Panel petition

http://sunrisefamily.com.au/current/petition/index.php

"Back in 2006, Sunrise proved that people power does work.
When the Howard Government was planning to ditch the rebate on solar panels, Sunrise viewers spoke up.
Well since then, Australia has taken a backward step.
The Rudd Government now means tests the rebate. If this plan stays, the rebate that makes solar panels affordable will only be available to households earning less than 100-thousand dollars a year.
Now, we're calling on the Rudd Government to scrap the means test.
This is a valid incentive for ALL Australians to do something about global warming."

Default Re: Sunrise Solar Panel petition

Last week in the ACT, I heard that new legislation was passed so that people who install solar panels and feed the excess power back into the grid will be paid 3.8 times the market price for it. Makes it much more cost effective to do it in Canberra, even without the rebate.
