About Regional – a new place for the stories of South East NSW… Long before Donald Trump turned America’s back on the Paris Agreement, Australian families decided that investing in solar energy for their homes and businesses made sense – Australia has the highest take up rate in the world. The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) have just been in the region, dropping in on towns where the take up of solar panels hasn’t been as great as it has been in other communities. Free community seminars were held in Queanbeyan, Cooma, Eden and Ulladulla under the banner of ‘Demystifying Solar Power’ OEH staff were on hand to answer questions and lead discussion – explaining the different options for businesses and households wanting to switch to solar and save money and save the planet. The Paris Agreement was part of the conversation, but it all happened before Trump quite, but I don’t think that would have changed a thing. Lisa Miller, is a confessed solar geek from the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage. Thanks to my partners in this program – Light to Light Camps rolling out the red carpet on the 31 km track between Boyd’s Tower and Greencape Lighthouse south of Eden.
