12 noon at the workshop venue.
Powered by the Sky (Road tto gundagai)
There’s a way to defray,
Rising power costs today,
Now that we’re powered by the sky.
Where the wind keeps on blowing,
And solar farms keep glowing,
Beneath that sunny sky.
That my daddy and mother,
Will love I can tell,
And the pals of my childhood,
Installed one as well.
So no more will I moan,
When the power bills come home,
Now that we’re powered by the sky.

Invest your money with your kids in mind

Bye Bye Coal, Bye Bye fossil fuels
Hello renewables, Energy from the sky
Bye bye Coal – reduce Climate stress
Hello cleverness, Goodbye to coal g’dbye
Got thru denial, I’m thru with doubt
Let’s get together, work this thing out
and here’s the reason, I feel so free
I got good people surrounding me
Bye Bye Coal …
We light the dark now with something new
We’ll still be happy (with) no fossil fuel
And here’s the reason ….
Bye bye coal …
Don’t leave them in homes
among the gasfields
With clear-felled gum trees
A burning tap, and some chemical crap
A pipeline out the back
Leaky gas-wells out the front
Cos it’s not fracking fair
The simple Life, the simple life
Good for everyone, good for everyone
There’s more than enough for the world to share
by living simply and taking care
With solar, wind and more local fare
The simple Life
You’ve got to ac-cen-tuate renewable,
E-lim-i-nate the fossil fuel,
It’ll catch on,
It’s oh so do-able,
And don’t mess with carbon in between
With public transport up to the maximum
Car use down to a minimum
Share stuff or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate, the brightest spark
Has solar on the roof, lighting up the dark
It’s wise to do
Causing everyone to … remark
You’ve got to …
