At 11am on Saturday, December 6, schools, community groups and people of all ages gathered on Mollymook Beach to create a human sign forming the words ‘PEOPLE POWER’. The event, organised by the Shoalhaven Chapter of Clean Energy for Eternity, was an opportunity for the people of the Shoalhaven to show their support for renewable energy and to urge Council and community leaders to make decisions to encourage new ‘clean’ technologies. Over 500 people gathered on the beach. On the day, Shoalhaven City Council Mayor, Paul Green, announced $8000 of funding towards the Mollymook Lifesaving Energy project. Milton & Districts Community Bank have also contributed $6000 towards the project. Local renewable energy supplier, Barker Electrical/Sunlord Solar, has donated a wind turbine and will provide the solar system at a great price. The installation will happen in 2009 in conjunction with other building works on the surf club.
