The dance was the culmination of a 3 day conference in Brisbane with more than 100 youth from across the country with speakers including Bill McKibben, key Australian politicians and more than 50 workshops. The next step is repowering Australia with renewable energy!

SO amazing - what great work!!

They make a serious point, too - Australia needs to get into gear and clean up our energy production. We can get to 100% renewable power damn soon - the technology's all there, and from the looks of this video - so is the energy and enthusiasm :D

AWESOME work all involved :)

people I was the first in my street to get solar power. But taxing carbon emissions is the stick approach when the carrot is better. fact is the carbon tax is a wank tax to keep Gillard on-side with the Greens, nothing else. If you think she is concerned with anyone other than her own fat political hide you are as gullible as you appear....Nuclear is the only answer.

@signature1990 Besides, socialism just means working together. Socialist things happen in the capitalist economies of today. Take John Lewis (a british company I think, well I'm in the UK and they're here). They have employee ownership and didn't suffer much, if at all, in the recession. And the employees like it as far as I know. That's socialism (with a small 's') fitting into capitalist contraints. Calling it wank ideology doesnt help you to convince people they're brainwashed.

[DeanoProductionsTM]

@signature1990 You're right that everything can't be powered by solar or wind or whatever other renewables. That's because we are arrogant and believe we are entitled to have the most comfortable lives that we want at the expense of anything. Oil, coal, and nuclear will be "fine" for a while but they will all run out. That's true whether you're a socialist, capitalist, fascist, anarchist, whatever political ideas you have.

[signature1990]

Nice effort but you ideal is flawed. We cannot run everything on solar power. Just brainwashed teens sucking up to the lefty socialist wank ideology..most sprouted by the Australian Greens
