A central Victorian green group says targeted policies need to be in place to encourage investment in geothermal energy in Victoria. The State Government has released a map showing Victoria's geothermal sites to try to attract investment in clean energy production. The map identifies areas in the state's north-west as well as around Castlemaine as potential geothermal sources. Mount Alexander Sustainability Group spokesman Dean Bridgfoot says the map's release is a welcome first step. "But we've also got to be totally honest that there won't be investment in these kinds of new technologies unless there's also government policies that back it up", he said. "It's all very good to have an atlas and say there's the resource but if the policies are supporting brown coal to be cheap and dirty then no one's going to invest".
