We at RenewEconomy would like to thank you, our readers and advertisers for your support and interest in 2014.

It has been a big year. More than 1.1 million people (unique visitors) visited the RenewEconomy website in 2014. That makes RenewEconomy by far the most read cleantech and climate focused website in Australia. We registered more than four million page views for the year.

That is a fantastic result. Now, for the next few weeks, we are having a break. We will be back in early 2015, bigger and better, and with some exciting new features and additions.

In the meantime, we would like to thank all our readers for your interest.

We would like to thank all those who make the effort to contribute comments – by and large we have enjoyed top quality discussions on this website. We value that input. In fact, we learn a lot from the expertise and passion of our readers, and we are sure you do too.

And we would like to thank our advertisers for their financial support, without which it would be impossible to maintain this website. We trust that they also benefited from exposure to an interested, inspired, focused, and engaged audience.

We wish you all the best for the season, and a safe and happy holiday.

The RenewEconomy team: Giles, Sophie and Sam.

    Good to see writers stick to enjoining readers to have a good break. This is as much as a curmudgeon (a close relative) can tolerate. Yeah, have a good break and bah humbug to Xmas with knobs on. I do appreciate your editorial doggedness in the face of continuing bastardry and pathos/bathos among out “leaders”. It can’t be easy to avoid the descent into “centre-mildness-politics” a la Blair/Rudd et al.

    Thank you Giles and the RE team. 2015 should bring more fantastic news about how the world is making the inevitable Great Energy Transition. The balance is tipping and websites such as yours play an enormous role in maintaining the momentum. Many thanks and see you in the New Year.

    Giles, thanks to you and your team for all your great work. Your site has been an inspiration, even in the face of the dreaded Tony Abbott coal for humanity agenda. No other site comes close to your level of coverage. Only here can we get the full story. I know that 2015 will bring you a growing audience as more and more people realise that the fight for renewables is a worthwhile (and inevitable) one. Look forward to 2015, keep up the great work and have a happy new year!

    Giles and team, thanks for maintaining the rage, and providing us the information we need about (as Rob said) ‘the inevitable Great Energy Transition’. You are a daily inspiration, plotting and tracking the Great Energy Transition.
    The embarrassment that we feel as a country now will surely be followed by a new found optimism and confidence – it might be a few years away – but it will happen, as surely as day follows night. These dark, backward 19th century years will give way and eventually herald a rush back to wholesale, unstoppable, nationwide adoption of RE. Maybe Mr Abbott is doing us a favour: by showing the world what a backward regressive fossil fuelled economy looks like.
