It really is ridiculous that seed funding was removed from a renewable mocrogrid in the world's oldest rainforest, because they could not complete due to a disaster.
We use about 700l of diesel a week and a solar system capable of running our business reliably would cost nearly a million dollars.
Given that it is only one worn out Greenie that wants us to stay on diesel, it is confounding that Labor policy is to not fund our microgrid.
Are they really green?

They left the city for a paradise. Now Daintree residents are asking how long they can afford to stay.
