‘Absolutely disgraceful’: ‘Gag order’ on residents over renewables slammed 

Me too

Can we administer the rattan before they apologise?? Can we? Pleeeeeeease?

@@ideaphile your comment didnt make sense to me. Autocorrect?

Mr Morrison signed us up for the economically destructive delusional insanity of Net Zero. The feckless ALP then doubled down upon this economic and environmental vandalism. They frequently indulge in Jetsetting around the world at taxpayers expense, however they are oblivious to the consequences of the same triple popular delusion based energy policy in Germany.

@@davefoord1259 Sorry - now corrected!

The morons who did are now saying they didn't.

Many thousands of submissions have been put to the EPA against hundreds of renewables projects. There is a great deal of knowledge and expertise amongst those submissions and all of this information is ignored. Of course the issues around wind turbines, solar panels and backup batteries are exactly the same for every project yet we are expected to submit submissions for each and every project. The numerous risks and fact based objections have to be presented over and over and even when the EPA refers some issues back to the developer they take the word of the developer every time. We are so sick of the lies being told. We have more than 50 projects in the pipeline for our beautiful region alone. It's hard to get the numbers for the submissions with small populations and we received notification on a recent project that as the number of submissions received totalled 49 it will automatically be approved. It goes before a panel if you can get more than 50 submissions but you only get five minutes to present your case. It is so humiliating trying to present all that you know in just five minutes. It's pretty much a waste of time anyway, their eyes glaze over and they don't seem to be listening. There needs to be a Royal Commission into renewable energy. What is happening out here in the regions is devastating.

One has thought bubble. About Environmentalist Activists renting Air Conditioned Office Space in Metropolitan Business Districts, and taking flight in Luxury Private Aircraft.

Not large scale all of them sould be banned.

Oh poor Leonardo, did somebody spoil your view ? .

Vote ONE NATION!

It was the LNP who under Howard/Anderson in 2002 brought in the Renewable Energy Act. This act created a honeypot subsidy environment where those companies’ building turbines are paid between $600K - $900K per turbine per annum to companies wanting to build wind turbines, in just this subsidy alone which taypayers money is sent offshore and funnelled into shelf companies leaving farmers with a massive bill if anything happens to them like catching on fire. This subsidy is reaming $40B per year out of the Australian economy and is paid by ALL Australians via our power bills.

Yes.. but Not so 'simple' There are quite a few woke Liberals as well

Cheapest form of energy on the planet.

Note that a lot of these wind farms are Italian/ French/ Singaporean /Chinese !

you think you've ever been free?

@@andyman8630 years ago things were definitely better. No phones, cars didn’t tell you how to drive, one wage could run an entire household with a mortgage. Your question is more philosophical than a serious question and I am sure you know what I mean.

@@paulgraham5790 we were still slaves to the system, money and govt decades ago - just wasn't so "in your face"

We simply need to withdraw from the ridiculous Paris agreement and use the most economical energy resources available.

I don't feel any confidence in Dutton after he SUPPORTED Labors IDIOTIC Digital I.D. and the anti-free speech, e-Safety Commissar. He's become "Labor Light".

So you think Russia is doing the right thing, invading a country??

✔

Exactly, so-called "renewables' in their current form are not environmentally friendly in the traditional meaning - protect flora and fauna and ecosystems

Have they been asked ?

Same as most people

Because they know Albo is going to pay them billions in compensation for building all this rubbish

abo.s only care about linning their own pockets

@@stewatparkpark2933 probably not.

No it's bullshit

@@longway1 It's bullshit because it's blackmail.

It's only recently that Scotland's S.N.P. admitted that 15 MILLION trees were destroyed in the establishment of their wind turbine, "environment friendly", generation grid. They also admitted that they had to install turbines gas heaters to "unfreeze" the turbines, due to freezing weather before, they could get them to operate. Just a sample of the coverup there, and Australia in years to come will hear the truth, when it is all too late, and the Political proponents are sitting back on huge taxpayer funded superannuation benefits.

Indeed, our energy policy is ludicrous. Out government is misappropriating colossal amounts of taxpayers money and resources into uneconomical and unreliable renewable energy projects whilst simultaneously exporting our coal, gas and uranium to other countries which use them for cheap reliable electricity generation. We need to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and use the most economical energy resources available.

The Government has taken the discussion out of where this destruction occurs. Green Energy has the authority to put wind and solar wherever without consultation.

The largely useless and exorbitantly expensive rubbish will soon end in landfill and the hapless taxpayers will be left with bad debts that will take generations to pay off.

or rare birds.

they know, they don't have personal investments in it like they do with the windmills and solar.

The same thing happened in Germany. Wind has a low energy density and wind power is centuries out of date. The wind farms only exist due to massive taxpayer funded subsidies. They make no economic sense. They are a colossal waste of taxpayers money and resources (including coal, oil and copper). The useless renewable energy equipment will soon end up in landfill.

yes the solar farms can create there own weather systems.

Oh tell it to the marines!! It's a woman's choice ,

@@RoyBennett-dz2cq Yes. It ain't the baby's choice, that's for sure.

It proved to be uneconomical!

@@stevehewitt1151 I guess so, but not much more uneconomical than short lived wind farms & vast solar farms, Nuclear all the way I say !

@@chrisdickinson7949 I absolutely agree with you - I believe that geothermal does have some future part to play! On the other hand, I believe wind and solar are gigantic white elephants - remove the subsidies and watch it collapse!

protection racket

@@andyman8630in a word, yes.

@@andyman8630the single word reply just vanished.

The renewable energy projects only exist due to massive taxpayer funded subsidies. They are a malinvestment of taxpayers money and resources.

Labour under Labor.

They typically don't re-use the piers: #1 - the pier is often designed for a particular size, and after taking the trouble to install one turbine, you install the biggest you can, so if the next generation is too big ... #2 - after 20-30 years of a long pole swaying back and forth in the wind, the piers themselves are suspect foundations (likely full of cracks, strain, & etc), and after taking the trouble to install a turbine, you want to install with confidence for the next 20-30 years, so you would just create a new pier (and leave the old one where it is).

Indeed. In Northern Europe vast numbers of solar panels are frequently covered in snow in winter. There is widespread inappropriate uneconomical use of solar panels in many parts of the world. Taxpayers money should not be squandered on this.

@@johngeier8692 right good point. I wonder when it was that some clever money men worked out this scam and started putting it in motion

That's why they are called renewables.

They are paid large amounts of taxpayers money as “rent “ to keep them quiet.

We are currently burdened with a large cohort of weak and corrupt politicians who believe that virtue signalling on the world stage is more important than the national interest.

Our politicians believe that it is more important to collude with ridiculous and economically destructive popular delusions.
