NSW Environment Minister Matt Kean said the move will ensure NSW is not "left behind" in the move to renewable energy, amid criticism that the federal Coalition government has not done enough to combat climate change.
"You don't need to believe in climate change to believe in capitalism," Mr Kean said. "We should absolutely take action to address climate change for our environment but just as importantly for the future of our economy.”
