WITH today’s announcement of another wind power auction to bring a great deal of renewable energy to the Canberra market there has also been a slew of social media infographics from Government MLA’s.
We suspect it’s a sign of things to come.

Three MLAs remained silent on the subject:
- Chris Bourke
- Joy Burch
- Mary Porter
Cabinet member and Green Shane Rattenbury has been silent on the subject, at least on Twitter.
UPDATE: Chief Minister Barr has got with the program and nabbed Simon’s imagery:
A further step towards our #RenewableEnergy targets
