Net Zero madness: Wind turbines are VANDALISING Australia’s countryside | MGUY Australia 

You can’t chop down a dangerous gum tree in your backyard, because of the environment but these fools are destroying our countryside.

The Greens aren't green , they are red .

Total clown world.

The hypocrisy is insane.

Voltaire: “Those Who Can Make You Believe Absurdities, Can Make You Commit Atrocities”

Where are the greens? More worried about Palestine, than Australia. Same as the Labor Party.

Where do most of the Greens voters live? that's right, the inner city.

Without Government subsidies and incentives , not one of these turbines would be installed because they are not economically viable.

Why are there only a handful of Senators calling this out ! This Labor government is a disgrace.

This is an absolute disgrace. The labor government has got to be kicked out as with them greens and teals

This is what destroying the planet looks like kiddies.

We talk about pollution e.g. noise pollution. What about visual pollution? This is dreadful! 😢

Yes, where are the Greens & Environmentalists now.

If anybody tried to build 1 astronomical telescope there, environmentalists would have protested. But 9000 wind turbines with noise, bird chopping and cables are perfectly fine.

Same here in Norway. Windfarms are placed in virtually untouched nature close to the coast line where the huge Sea Eagle lives. The Sea Eagle is a protected species, but this is not given much consideration, up goes the windmill not matter what. This industrilaization of prestine nature is unheard of. Also if you drive off road in Norway you will be fined around $1500USD even if its on snow and the track vanishes then the snow melts. The windmills are an utter disgraze, and they are not needed in Norway at all. The Sami's, the indigenous people of Norway have protested, but so far to no avail. No treaty signed by Norway can come in the way of NetZero. I hate to see our beautiful nature ruined by wind-factories. Local politicians only see money running in to the local governments coffers, and care little about the devastaion of wildlife, nature, and the well being of the people living nearby the huge installations.

Theres an abandoed wind farm on the southern border of Wyoming, next to Colorado. The subsidies ran out. So the owners abandoned it and built a new wind farm down the road as a new firm. The subsidies flowed again. The old wind farm was left a mess of oil laden turbines, chemical laced blades, and multi-ton cement foundations. Foundations limiting the return of the land to farming.

Let’s not forget each wind turbine takes around 50 gallons of oil which needs to be changed every 6 months

This is disgusting & made me feel so emotional watching this it nearly brought a 47 year old grown man to tears. This is one area of the world too. Now scale this devastation up across the entire planet

This is disgraceful. We have an array of Bird Mincers on a nearby hill. Most of the time they are not working. As a youngster I lived in the UK and holidays in N Wales, near a Nuclear Power Station. It occupied a few acres. No smoke, no steam, no smell, no noise and nobody was poisoned or harmed in any way

From 1998 onwards I witnessed the destruction of most of Scotland. As a truck driver I drove through the night and passed hundreds of the 120-150 feet long trucks carrying the pylons. After I retired 2 years ago the initial pylons. from over 20 years ago, had been scrapped, hidden in forest s all over Scotland because they do not rot down. They are not Biodegradable. They were made of stuff that no one wants to clear up. The Scottish Gov.t have washed their hands of this destruction that they caused

Anyone who loves Australia needs to vote Albo out.

A kiwi here tears in my eyes for my Aussie brothers and sisters homeland being destroyed.

What vested interests are being satisfied here..? Chris Bowen is allowing Australia to be destroyed..?

Vote One Nation or vote Labour Out….!

I am a New Zealander , to watch that willfull delerbrat destruction of nature was disturbing .

Tanya Plibersek Minister for the Environment is now the Minister of Destruction.

The new British Government has promised to reverse the previous administration's pause on new onshore wind turbines. Solar arrays are constantly popping up, usually on good farmland. This is in a country with a rapidly growing population and already inports most if its food.

Just returned from a 6000 mile road trip vacation, during which we had the unpleasant experience of driving the whole width and most of the breadth of our state of Iowa. Mile after mile after mile, wind turbines as far as the eye could see. It was a constant, completely depressing reminder of how far backwards we’ve gone.

The problem with Queensland is that there's not enough "Important" or "Special" people in the affected area. No one in those groups cares. A good example is what happened in the USA a few years ago. Someone came up with a plan for wind turbines in the area of Martha's Vineyard. It was believed to be a good area windwise. The "Special" and "Important" got more than slightly upset and had tempertrantrums. No wind turbines were built.

None of these areas should be destroyed for any of these turbines! Not even 1 turbine.

It’s not about the climate it’s about dystopian rule and destruction to bring in a new world of rule

So much for Labor being the party to save the forests right? Vote them out.

Every Australia Should See it Everyone Post This to your Friends and Families This is Really Sad This is Not Australia at All

Fun Facts: Nuclear Power plants are greener and would be better for the environment than all these wind farms. Not a single one of those wind turbine blades will be recycled!!

No worries, mate! They're from the government and they're here to help.

Plenty of kick backs and deals created in this new un-necessary industry. Some people are making a shit load of money. They know it's useless but who cares when theres money to be made!

Don’t forget that the non-recyclable turbine blades have a very limited effective life span and are also great for killing aerial wild life.

It's baffling that all of this could be negated by a new generation of Nuclear plants yet they'd rather go back to using windmills. All while relying on battery storage tech appearing that doesn't currently and might never exist.

This is horrible. And this doesn’t even show how they’re going to store the energy.. where will the batteries be kept for all this energy and the sad thing is in 20 years right now all those massive turbines will be left to rust. because of people built them walk away from them when they find out, they don’t do what they wanted them to, and who will clean up the horrible mess and replant the forest and replace the wildlife that has been destroyed? Those who have made their money from creating this horrible mess will walk away Scott free and sit there counting their ill gotten gaines.

"Cut down the trees." "Why?" "To save the forest you dummy!"

No one is trying to save the planet. Every time I pray im begging God for mercy for our beautiful world and the creatures and plants living here.

Environmental damage on unprecedented Scale , incredible 😢

Has that been approved by Queen Greta Dumberg ???😢

God bless Australia 🇦🇺 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

And let's not forget that when these turbines fail, they do so in a massive fiery blaze that ends with their physical destruction and collapse onto the ground and surrounding area resulting in the possibility of initiating ground/forest fires,...another catastrophe that Australia does not need or want to revisit!!! Keep up your much appreciated work Simon. Please!

There's several pictures and videos floating around where the old wind turbines all they do is dig a big big trench and bury it because they can't recycle them...

It doesn't matter how many wind turbines you set up, when it's not windy, they don't produce any energy, same with solar panels.

Time to rethink the nuclear option for electricity generation

In the USA our midwest tornadoes take out many of these monsters. Have you heard that California wants people to only charge their EVs to 85% so people will spend less time at the charging stations? And in Seattle it is hard to find a working charging station because so many charging cables are stolen for the copper.

I couldn’t watch the video , to see all that buttery of your trees 🌲 & landscape. 😢 This madness is going on everywhere in the world.

This is absolutely horrific ! And we have the gal to talk about the Amazon being chopped down. Where are the adults, how are the politicians approving this stuff, how much have they been bribed to sign off on these horror shows.

Heartbreaking to see.

Just imagine. All together that collection of turbines will only provide the same power as a single large coal or gas power station on one footprint. As against ripping through all those forests. Think about that when you vote Labor and Greens. The silence of Adam Bandt is deafening.

Simon: Here in southern Alberta, we get the Katabatic winds of the Rocky Mountains. There are THOUSANDS of wind generators across this beautiful ranching, grain growing & oil & gas wells. Eyesores at best. Same crap....20 years ,give or take, of usable service & then the generators must come down. Apparently, there are frequent oil changes needed for the bearings & gear boxes on these things, & the oil is dreadfully expensive. It is a special type of oil, & no other type (less expensive) will do. There are also mechanical & blade inspections at intervals, & on it goes. People near a generator "farm" site, complain of hearing problems, headaches & God knows what else. I know that there are bird strikes, but I expect that the carrion is picked up daily & dispensed with before anyone is aware of the number that are killed. We also have solar "farms" that are huge in area, & built on excellent farm soil. I won't go on about the panels & all the problems with them & their maintenance etc. Nuclear plants are the obvious choice, & today, we have control of these plants that run 24 hours a day forever, less interval inspections , & rebuilding on occasion . Honest to God, I can't imagine WHO is responsible for all this crap. I am not a conspiracy nut by any means, but it is difficult not to believe that there is a group somewhere that is controlling western countries ( Hey! Australia is an English speaking nation so you are Westerners) All of the "fruitcake" schemes that governments come up with, that have not been subjected to review by experts in the proposed fields, should not be allowed to go ahead. Here in Alberta & British Columbia, with the Rocky mountains, there are a number of people who die in avalanches,. skiing There is a federal agency (avalanche Canada I think) that has clips on the internet, broadcast radio, TV , & other outlets , that will advise skiers, snowmobilers, hikers ,etc. to avoid certain areas, because of avalanche dangers there. Highways through the mountains are posted , have illuminated signs that flash warnings & supply alternate routing. Many people just ignore any cautions. If I am planning on driving on one of the "flagged" routes, I change my routing or I don't go. You see, I believe that the experts at avalanche Canada, know more than I do about avalanches. It is a terrible lowering of mental barriers I know, but I am still here, & many who disregarded the experts are dead. Always love your site Simon, & your sometimes acerbic commentary. Cheers!

This makes me so sick. Please keep up your good work to let the public know.

In Scotland the Govt is cutting down 16 MILLION trees to make space for wind factories!

Where is Greenpeace when they are cutting down lush forests and animal habitats?

Remember the days when we were taught what good trees, and forests did for air quality?

We have the same thing in the UK,the new Labour government says it will reverse the ban on land based wind farms. The money would be better spent on a number of smaller nuclear power stations that could be turned on and off as required.

Wind factories not only consume large amounts of land, but huge amounts of resources as well (copper, steel, concrete and composite for the blades). They also require massive new road systems. And how about that climate change? Don't windmills interrupt the natural flow of the winds? Does that not cause the climate to change?

Welcome to the Scottish nightmare Australia, yours is only just starting. Our once beautiful country is blighted by these hideous factories and it just goes on apace! A few years ago we spent a fortnights holiday on the west coast and for the entire 2 weeks as we moved around the countryside, at no time was there a (once stunning) vista which didn't have these abominations in sight! Long gone are the sights of my youth back in the 60/70s🤬🤬 Rise up against it NOW or you will all regret it!!

I'm speechless! Can't find the words to begin to describe how enraged this made me.

Who is FISTING all of these state & Federal Politicians?

My son was involved with the construction of a wind factory on the NSW South Coast. He said that the roads they put in for the trucks to bring in the towers are so highly compacted that nothing will ever grow where they are again.

What a disgrace chop down the best thing to absorb carbon for wind farms the carbon footprint to build these is unreal

This needs to be put on main street media and all TV talk back programmes and CB sued for destruction of the environment.

This is insane. Any meteorologist knows that Queensland is inside the Hadley Cell, where winds are routinely slack. Wind is the last thing anyone in Queensland should be thinking of as an energy source.

Just like most EV drivers who claim they are being “green” because they are absolutely oblivious to this kind of shit that is going on, just like how their batteries are made as long as they can’t see it they couldn’t give less of a shit.

This is terrible. I’m in the US . I’m so sorry this is happening

Thanks for sharing this knowledge .

A typical modern nuclear power station produces 4 GW of electricity on a footprint of roughly 400 x 500 metres. Low down, out of the way, mostly unseen unless you are up close. For windmills to produce this, bearing in mind you need triple capacity, you need roughly 4500 windmills. Tall things. On hills. There isn't a single view in Britain that hasn't been ruined now. They are disgusting. Not to mention all the damage done to erect them in the first place.

There is a solution to this madness, vote the current Government out and support the nuclear agenda of the LNP which not only achieves net zero (for what its worth!), it utilises existing electricity distribution infrastructure as they are planned to be built on existing coal fired power station locations. BTW, I drive an EV, we are not all greenies!

Queensland is beautiful or was before wind factories.

Every turbine has a light. You ain’t seen nothing until you see that visual distraction.

No matter how many multiples of needed capacity you build, when there is no wind, you get no output. NetZero brains here.

It happens worldwide. I saw a documentary where in Sweden these monstrosities are placed on hilltops in nature reserves and in order to get the metal poles brought in from China by ship, colossal amounts of natural forest have to be cut down, just to build the roads to get there. with heavy trucks.

Corruption Needs Stupidity

Turns out to save the planet you need to destroy it.

Loy Yang coal generator produces 20% of Victoria's power needs and covers 6000 Hectares. To produce the same amount with wind generators covers 175,000 Hectares. You also need batteries and solar to make sure we have reliable power source, where are we getting the land from? Besides destroying precious farm land. Just take all the parks that produce nothing and cover them with wind and solar, problem solved.

That video reminds me of the scene in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, where the Orcs had devastated the entire countryside - chopping down trees to construct weapons of war.

I hate those eyesores. How many birds, bats, and insects will those damn things kill?

The same is happening in Spain. They're removing plenty of fruit trees to install solar panels and wind turbines.

whats funny is when I brought up the fact wind turbines kill birds, all the people defending it just said 'well cats kill more!' because that makes it fine.

Oh God!!! I'm lost for words. What is the government thinking? ARE they thinking??? I really enjoy your videos. Much love from Melbourne💙

Just a reminder, no commercial wind turbine yet built has been energy positive.

Each of these proposed turbines will require up to (and possibly exceeding) 60 gallons of specially formulated lubricant. This oil will still have to be pulled from the earth and refined, a process that will generate carbon emissions. Each of these turbines will then be required to undergo periodic inspections and maintenance and (you guessed it) oil changes. There is disagreement on how long the oil lubricating the device will remain effective but it won't be forever. There are some gear-driven turbines that suggest an oil change after the first 500 hours of operation. Question for the zealots: Who pays for the dismantling and disposal of these scars on the environment and the recovery of natural resources when it is finally resolved that wind and solar cannot meet the projected energy needs?

14 million trees were cut down in Scotland to make way for wind turbines.

"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot". Need to rewrite that song 🎵

I know people that work in the wind and solar industry the wind turbines if they don't explode or catch on fire generally on average about 5 years then they usually need major repairs and major maintenance. The solar panels usually start leaking toxic chemicals out of the panels after 2 to 4 years as the harshest conditions take massive effect on these panels then a lot of the panels can be damaged by debris from excessive wind panels also need to be washed off every month and none of the wind or solar factories are connected to the grid. And that is before any transmission lines and infrastructure is built or any studies have been done. Some engineers that design and construct this type of technology have only estimated the cost of everything between 1to 2 trillion dollars providing everything goes to plan. We the Australian tax payers will be footing the cost in electricity bills and our taxes.

Holy cow, this is madness on such a scale, the carnage to bird species is too awful to contemplate.

Could you imagine the outcry if a logging company wanted to go there & cut down a couple if hundreds of frees? Which leads me to ask, what happened to all that timber?

🤔 I contemplate sitting in the dark more and more each day.

Thats how they take over Land...

In the US, the greens hear about a project like this and imagine the desert of The Outback. They don’t imagine forested mountain ranges being stripped.

Wonder what the concrete pads CO2 footprint was? Ireland has a similar problem and backed off.

Jeez. That’s insanity.

How are people so blind? It wasn't so long ago we were screaming about cutting down the rain forests.

This is beyond a time to cry

This video alone should be the evidence that we need nuclear right now to stop this

Already posted this: They are putting in 30 acres of solar panels next door to my mother-in-law's property, in an area that used to be pristine farm / pasture land. Was thinking about putting in a B&B there sometime. Something to keep me busy and make some extra money during retirement... That idea's now shot. Nobody would want to stay there anymore. How much compensation did my mother-in-law get? ZERO! Insane.
