Labor announces $50m household solar plan

[ Kevin ( KC) and the Sunshine Band ....That's The Way (I Like It) ah ha ]

Federal Labor leader Kevin Rudd has been selling the Opposition's environmental credentials ahead of a meeting with the British economist Sir Nicholas Stern.
Mr Rudd has launched a $50 million plan for a Labor government to help households install solar power.
Labor says the plan would cut 25 per cent off the cost of a solar power system and benefit about 12,000 households over four years.
The proposal is an expansion of a government scheme that is scheduled to finish in a few months.
Labor's environment spokesman, Peter Garrett, says greenhouse emissions savings from the plan will be the equivalent of taking 4,000 cars off the road.
"The appetite for the Australian public for Australia to go solar is huge, there are a number of additional savings that attach to being able to go solar for Australian homes," he said.
"They include reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that go into the atmosphere and reducing your electricity bills over the longer term."
Mr Rudd has highlighted the differences between Labor's climate change policy and the Government's.
"Sir Nicholas Stern recommends that we ratify Kyoto, the Government refuses to ratify Kyoto, Labor policy is to ratify Kyoto," he said.
"Sir Nicholas Stern recommends a 60 per cent greenhouse gas reduction target by 2050, that's Labor policy, the Government opposes that policy.
"I think the differences are very clear cut."
