Hypocrisy : Renewables festival caught using diesel generators to power stalls
Sky News host Chris Kenny highlights the hypocrisy of a festival promoting renewable energy using diesel generators to power some of its food stalls. The OffGrid Living Festival in Chiltern, Victoria is a weekend to celebrate and investigate sustainable living in Australia. Half of the stalls were powered by solar, however, festival organisers confirmed food stalls which needed ridiculous amounts of energy required a diesel generator. Solar and wind are all well and good if they re available, if the sun is shining and the wind is blowing and as long as you don t need a lot of power, Mr Kenny said. Maybe they ll market it next year as the Chiltern OffGrid Diesel Festival a rival for the Denny Ute Muster across the river.
