"Electrifying Australia’s public hospitals could save $59 million a year in
energy costs, cut carbon emissions, and ultimately keep more people out of
hospital, a study has found.
But the government would need to act quickly as the upgrades could take a
decade to roll out and two decades to deliver economic returns.
Not-for-profit group Healthy Futures will release the findings in Canberra on
Thursday at a launch with groups representing 400,000 health care workers.
The event comes after research found the health care sector accounted for seven
per cent of Australia’s carbon emissions, and one third of energy used to power
public hospitals came from gas."
