The Greens claim that they support wind power.But now another Greens candidate has revealed her opposition to Wind Farms.
Why are the Greens lining up with the Liberal Party, National Party and the dirty energy lobby?
The policy difference is now clear - only Labor is committed to Victoria's energy future being clean and renewable.
Labor Alone on Renewable Energy?

While John Howard is busy talking up nuclear power, and the Victorian Liberals have an anti wind farm policy, one would expect the Greens to line up behind Labor's mandatory renewable energy target and wind energy.
According to The Age today, Greens Energy Spokesperson Louis Delacretaz is quoted as saying the Greens would stop wind farms like that in Bald Hills in Gippsland.
The Victorian Greens have promised to stop the construction of wind farms opposed by local residents, despite their policies of supporting renewable energy.
The first wind farm on the Greens' hit list will be the $220 million Bald Hills wind farm in South Gippsland, which was controversially vetoed earlier this year by the Federal Government over a perceived threat to the endangered orange-bellied parrot.
By lining up with the Liberal Party, the National Party and the dirty energy industry the Greens have shown that they are not serious about renewable energy or building a sustainable renewable energy industry.
We agree with Environment Minister, John Thwaites, who said, "This demonstrates that the Bracks Government has much stronger environmental credentials than the Greens."
