Renewables causing unbelievable amount of ‘environmental destruction’ for communities

Published 2024-06-29
The Australian’s Contributing Economics Editor Judith Sloan says the “environmental destruction” brought on rural and regional communities is “unbelievable”.

“Yet basically unseen by all the inner city loveys who are calling for even greater extension of renewable energy,” Ms Sloan told Sky News Australia.

“I actually reckon we should be saying sorry today and stopping it.”

  • Wait till people learn that we need 20 times more than we have now.(renewables as they then need to be renewed)
  • Forget the appolige, where were the aboriginal people in all of this we never heard a protest from them
  • So many land for growing food gone to this plastic things, that cost a arm and leg and needed to be replaced every few years...
  • Always good to hear good sense commentary from Dr. Sloane

    The Coppers Basin wind farm in the South Burnett owned by the Queensland Government is a case in point. When the wind farm closes it is the responsibility of the landowners to remove the towers and restore the site. Not the energy company or rather Stanmore Corp which is part of the Queensland government . This information came from someone involved in the construction. How will landholders ever afford or be capable of removing the wind towers, concrete pads they're built on and the road network that was bulldozed through pristine bushland?

    Precisely why there needs to be a moratorium on deploying large scale wind/solar arrays.
  • The expired wind turbine columns could be Australia's answer to the housing crisis. A platform style house accessed by a fast lift.
