Subsidising Alcoa to Generate Climate Change
by Melbourne IMC 15/09/2006
Environmental activists staged a protest on the steps of Parliament House against the Government subsidy of electricity given to the Alcoa Aluminium smelter.
According to Matthew from futureenergy.org, "Alcoa receives subsidies of around $125 Million dollars a year, paid for by the people of Victoria through higher electricity prices and inappropriately directed tax money that could be better spent on health, education or solving our polluting energy supply problem through renewable energy and demand side reduction."
"Our current political leaders are making decisions about how much our climate will change. It’s time that they started making those decisions based on what’s best for Victorians, rather than what’s best for multinational companies like Alcoa.” said Mark Wakeham, Greenpeace energy campaigner.
