Goldfields' Green Energy Potential Touted

The Federal Government's climate change commissioner, Tim Flannery, says Western Australia's Goldfields region could become "a hotbed" of green energy technology.

Professor Flannery visited Kalgoorlie-Boulder last week to discuss ways for the mining industry to tackle climate change.

The professor answered heated questions from residents about climate science and the carbon tax during his visit.

He says despite Kalgoorlie-Boulder being a "gold city", it has a strong potential for green development.
"I think Kalgoorlie is magnificently placed to shift to renewables," he said.
