Firefighters strike over ‘reckless renewable expansion’ 

Well said CFA. All Australians should be standing up for our farming community. As with the voice, councils and governments aren't listening.

THOSE TOXIC RENEWABLES.

Any enemy of farmers is an enemy of humanity.

I’m glad people are finally waking up to this crap

Take that Blowen. Well done CFA.

Bravo CFA.

Well done CFA

CFA are heroes. Well done for your courage.

Good on them. They are Right.

Wonderful news! Let's all strike to END WOKENESS.

We could of just kept the coal plants going....omfg....

Lets join the CFA and stop this madness well done boys

Wind turbine that needs a diesel engine to start the monstrosity up🤔

Well done the CFA and all firefighters.

Good on the CFA

If these Firefighters need money I will give it to them They are farmers business owners good country people

Finally!! Someone who has brains

Good on the fire fighters why is it they can see the hazards yet the Albo circus is totally blind 🤡🤡

Commonsense is prevailing Bowen is a fruit loop

I applaud the fire-fighters.

Democracy in action

The only thing about renewables is that they need to be RENEWABLE every 15-20 years. Support to CFA 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Australians really need to grow a backbone and stand against the net zero madness.

Vote out Labor governments worldwide

It does not seem to bother these urban green warriors that these wind turbines in the massive offshore wind farm have to be hammered more than 30 meters into the sea bed by huge pile drivers then every single one of them must be connected to the next turbine by heavy duty sea water proof insulated electrical cables draped across the ocean floor then transmitted back to shore by another heavier duty cable laid across the ocean floor.You cannot tell me these operations and infrastructure will not cause massive disruption and damage to sea life and the seascape ....that is just plain impossible It is an ecological disaster to provide extremely expensive, unreliable intermittent power subsidized by AUSTRALIAN taxpayers

Without farmers we starve.

Good on the rural fire brigade 👍

God help us. The city centric, cafe latte sipping sicialists are CLUELESS.

CFA level headed thinking.

Good on the cfa

Support the Farmers

Bloody well done, I take my hat off to all the brave firefighters. A stand for common sense, hooray.

Absolute gold👍 Why put our firefighters lives at risk for politicians stupidity

This just gets better and better

Green scams be gone !

Time for other essential workers to say no to this bullcrap. Action is needed. Refuse to cooperate with your own country's demise.

Great move from the firefighters

Who will fund the clean up when they go up toxic fall out for farmers and there stock. Stay away there is not enought water and the fumes are toxic from the batteries.

By far the deadliest bushfire on Black Saturday in Victoria (the Kilmore fire) was sparked off by a faulty powerline transformer which failed when the lines began clashing in gale force winds in extreme heat just before midday. It was a traditional powerline that was supplying traditional coal-fired power. The faulty transformer had been reported to the power company prior to Black Saturday 2009.

Now ban electric bike batteries .

Added to my comment. In fact, all workers involved in putting this renewable infrastructure up, need to say no, and walk away as well. It is the only way to stop this madness. People need to stop cooperating with destroying their own country and their children's future.

Stop net zero

Well done guys

how long will a panel last ? so far some brands 8 years ,8 years until they start to loose full DC power out making them useful for 12volt systems only ,like 12 volt lighting in a home /shed/van/boat.. millions of panels with a life expectancy of 8 years ,yep that sounds like renewable ..80 years out of a coal or nuclear power plant.

Good on them.

As a farmer i support your cause and the frustration of the renewable energy crap that it is causing. The volunteers of the local fire service do a fantastic job in all conditions when communities are suffering. THANK YOU CFA TEAMS. Commen-sense Fighting Australia (CFA)

Well said Steve Price.

Bravo CFA- 🎉❤

Thank god someone has sense

CFA 💪🙏

In the land of red dust, under southern skies wide, Where the sun’s harsh glare and the winds abide, A cry arises, not of joy but of plight, From those who battle flames in the dead of night. Firefighters, the brave, their hearts made of steel, Now stand in protest, their anger revealed. Not against nature’s wrath or the inferno's embrace, But against man’s decisions, an industrial disgrace. They strike against fields of solar and wind, Planted with haste, with foresight thinned. "Reckless!" they cry, as turbines whir, And solar panels stretch like an armored spur. In the name of green, lands are defiled, Safety forsaken, progress run wild. The balance is tipped, nature's ignored, In pursuit of profit, the warnings deplored. Once guardians of the land, now they contest, Policies born of shortsighted zest. They see the fires that future holds, In landscapes transformed, the nightmare unfolds. Renewables, they agree, are not the foe, But the reckless expansion, a lethal woe. Safety neglected in the green gold rush, Leaving forests and fields vulnerable, lush. Their hoses now hang, their helmets set down, They march through the cities, through each burning town. For every turbine erected, a risk unaddressed, Every solar field sown, another distress. "Listen!" they plead, to those in their towers, "Safety must lead, in these critical hours. Renewables can save, if wisely deployed, Not as reckless ambitions, or nature destroyed." Australia's heart beats with a fiery refrain, A warning ignited from the firefighters' pain. In the quest for green, do not forsake, The land and its guardians, for the future's sake. OddBall

I watched the CFA trucks from Hesket driving off to fight the fires north of Ballarat earlier this year and it felt like I was watching men going off to war. They already give so much to their communities and sacrifice not only themselves, but time with their families. Bloody heroes the lot of them.

Good on them. Labor dsdain the country areas in general.

Windmills on top of hills. Good luck next bushfire.

Peter Knights, Australia is with you 100%

Good on the CFA, what impact does this have on the insurance on these facilities.

Go CFA

Good on them we need people that know what they are talking about!

No engineers just politics

So one wind turbine gives zero power during calm, how does building a thousand fix that..? Complete and utter waste of resources..!

Want more Steve Price on Sky.

Been saying it all along. Seen pictures of solar farms with lush green grass and thinking geez how will it be when the grass dies? Even if it doesn't start at the location but the surrounding area were farmers etc are,nt allowed access to maintain 😮

Yeah CFA

Eventually, the reality of EV fire with the toxicity of smoke and the other dangers will hit home to everyone

Here in Latrobe Valley we are getting wind turbines in the middle of a pine plantation, apparently that’s a good idea.👍 We have been assured that a world first fire detection system is in place. They will be able to monitor the fire swallow homes, farms and livestock.

All this is will do is give developers government approval to clear more area.

Birds of prey will be on the endangered species list before you know it as well.

Applaud CFA

Great work Firefighters !!🚒 👏

AWESOME, finally some sanity out loud!!!

Bloody waste of time this wind/solar shit

Greens are no longer green, they seem to be turning red.

Go CFA!

Fires in South Australia started large grass fires last year.

I support CFS

There you go, you wouldn't have thought that such sml voice from fire fighters. Exposes the biggest flaws of the renewables. Like a ant in tbe eco system

government money? *there is no such thing!* it's taxpayers' money

I support CFA

I heard that lithium produces it's own oxygen is why one can't put out a lithium fire so would be the biggest why, in modern history is why EV cars keep burning under water. Why would they push EV cars? & they're so expensive.

Hero fieries!

This is why the Labor party is pushing so hard for recognition of indigenous lands. Soon after the Indigenous Lands act will over rule ownership of the land and they can, whilst not criminally take the land. They can put their ugly renewable footprint right across the land with no recourse or compensation for the land holders. Typical of an idealist political party the one thing the never think of is the people they represent. And our indigenous brothers are not stupid or idealistic. They love the land and wont give them the permission they require. It will blow up in their faces.

This is all the result of a Fire that the CFS volunteers tried to fight in country South Australia a few months ago. The Fire was caused by a Windmill turbine....one of the big ones, catching fire and lighting the surrounding scrub and all. It burnt 60+ or so Hectares of rural land until it was under control...and they had to prevent the other windmills from catching alight. It was a great idea on paper, but these things are not suitable for this country. Why smaller domestic ones for each house are not promoted, I don't know.

What is the total cost , Casanova Bowdn doesnt know or are .Dutton should do a running cost and energy created in Parliament every week .the voting public wont stand for it .

this is absurd..

More over by the time a Wind Turbine has been Manufactured, Transported, and erected it cannot and will not pay for itself in its life time without subsidization and that Information was imparted to me by and Electrical technician who works on Wind Turbines!!!!! FACT

When Victoria has 95% variable power and some of it is destroyed by fire and storms you will see people crying in the street with hunger.

We got 300 years of coal, it's the backbone of our ecconomy provided us with cheaper long term power the quote if it aint broke don't fix it, has a place in this power agenda. Why???? I mean why??? And it's the same reason as all the other times we've asked why? And will be the same reason in the future when we ask why?? There is no why we won't get an answer to the why.

What does it take to stop all the stupidity - probably long, long power cuts that just roll on and on.....................

These wind turbines are disgusting 🤮 what happens to our marine life when these winds and motion affect their balance and motion People near them are reporting motion sickness headaches vertigo and the list goes on

It’s ok Bowen will handle it.

Brilliant!

So Frightening When is this Madness going to stop I do not blame these Brave FIRE FIGHTERS WHO RISK THEIR LIVES I GUARANTEE you won’t see ALBO OR. BOWEN CLEANING UP THEIR DISGUSTING 🤮 MESS 🤬🤬🤬🤬👿👿👿👿

CFA, still the voice of reason :)

ftgj high voltage transmission lines always been there, regardless of green bs. Nowadays they are bigger and more dangerous, but its technology advance.

Maybe Albo and Bowen can fight the fires on the wind turbines,,,they are used to holding their hose !!😂

There has been little or no wind for a several days, we had very heavy fog and frosts to prove that!

Well done CFA❤❤❤

Never are the costs of transmission lines and 'backup' idling baseload taken in concideration when the 'greens' talk about wind&solar. Even the cheapest windmill and solar-PV add costs to the total system that just works fine without them.

I don't think Labor will be around much longer. j,

Renewables require 24/7 backup as they are inherently likely to produce no power indiscriminately according to the weather through lack of sunlight and SUFFICIENT wind. So running two forms of power production instead of just one. Makes perfect sense to Politicians.
