Pristine Australian bushland environments are being torn apart for metal monsters.
Short-lived and resource-hungry wind turbines are going up all over Queensland as part of Australia’s Net Zero 2050. These monstrosities are nothing more than a pipe dream for ‘free energy’.
Wind does not and cannot provide baseload power that coal provides cheaply and reliably.
To ensure coal mines restore the environment, coal mines pay a hefty bond for land disturbed. This bond is only returned after restoration is completed after mining.
Wind power companies pay NO environmental bond to make good afterwards.
I guarantee, if the government stopped propping wind and solar up with ‘free money’ the investors would run a mile and that is exactly what is happening overseas.
When will Australia acknowledge what a green-washed white elephant these wind projects are and back out before more birds disappear and more of the environment is destroyed?
I bet Andrew Forrest wouldn’t put one in his own backyard. Would you?
