Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing our environment and as our population grows, so does the amount of energy we use.
Australia's biggest single source of greenhouse gas emissions is burning coal to generate electricity
*. Most of Queensland’s electricity is generated by coal-fired power stations
# and as our energy needs grow, investing in alternative generation sources such as hydro, solar and biomass is just one way to help the environment.
