YOUNG Environmentalist of the Year Matthew Wright will speak about options for ‘base-load’ power and living without coal or fossil fuels at an environmental forum in Balwyn North.

The Brunswick resident, who is also executive director of Fitzroy-based Beyond Zero Emissions, said there were “massive” roll-outs of renewable energy going on in economies less dominated by fossil fuel interests, including China, Spain, Germany and the UK.

“Australians are missing out on a gateway of opportunities in the 21st century energy revolution, and are instead stuck in the 19th century fossil fuel economy,” Mr Wright said.

The forum will be held on Wednesday, June 8, from 7.30pm at St Aidan’s Uniting Church, 21 Duggan St, Balwyn North.
