DIESEL power on Bass Strait Islands would be replaced by renewable energy under Labor, Premier David Bartlett said yesterday. The task would be a priority of the Tasmanian Renewable Energy Industry Development Board, set up last week. The board is chaired by Peter Rae, ex-Hydro Tasmania chairman. "For Tasmania, climate change.., is an opportunity for economic growth. There are a number of exciting projects in wind, wave and tidal power." Mr Bartlett said. He said 2.56 million litres of diesel were burnt on King Islandand and 1.2 million litres on Flinders Island last financial year.
