Alan Finkel shows how green energy can be a reality, and bring economic benefits
Australiaβs former chief scientist argues that the transition to clean energy is economically manageable and will ultimately yield benefits.
Denver last year offered subsidies for buying electric bikes
Their first 600 were snapped up in 10 minutes. Demand was *huge*
Denver ended up issuing over 4,700 (about 2,300 of which went to low-income residents)
Research shows it reduced car-miles driven in the city by 100K a week
My takeaway?
We should have ebike subsidies *everywhere*, and *now*. Cheaper than electric car subsidies, and arguably even more catalytic

Bicycle NSW has celebrated the opening of the new active transport link (ATL) shared user path alongside the Parramatta Light Rail Stage 1 tracks: https://bicyclensw.org.au/brand-new-walking-and-cycling-path-in-parramatta/
> The path is wide and generous, the urban design and landscaping is of a high-standard, and the views are fantastic, particularly when coasting downhill on the way back to Parramatta!
