Queensland Climate Change and Sustainability Minister Kate Jones says an eco-resort on the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef is leading the way in renewable energy. Ms Jones officially opened a hybrid solar energy station on Lady Elliot Island, off the central Queensland coast, on Saturday. She says the power station will supply the island's resort with most of its energy needs. "Their reliance on diesel fuel has now been cut by two-thirds, ultimately they want to move to being a clean energy facility," she said. "This is a great example of local businesses being innovative and reducing their carbon emissions."
