When someone standing on their land which has been 90% cleared of vegetation saying preserve our natural habitat it’s a bit hypocritical.

Well said

Perhaps I'm old and cynical - all both sides are concerned about is 'what's in it for me'. Australia's future? That's our young people. Oh that's right... we priced them out of the conversation.

Why not put them on the Gold Coast right off the beach you get a lot of wind coming off the ocean

@harryjones5260 2 ай бұрын

but they will still be demanding a 24hr 365 electricity supply for all amenities.

We want renewable but not in my back yard

If an area has an issue building wind turbines the area has an issue building anything. Be it renewable energy or non renewable energy infrastructure.

Cheap energy???? a million/year rent for that land holder.

There is a lot of change happening, and it's happening in places that haven't changed in these peoples lifetime. So I can feel for them. To be ignorant of the facts is something I have a lot more trouble with but can understand to some degree given the education levels that different people can access. But to seed misinformation and disinformation is despicable.

@erichuang2090 2 ай бұрын

what about painting the wind turbine in GREEN , that looks like tree ...

@caltha2720 2 ай бұрын

Everyone wants cheaper and readily available energy but no one wants the solution on their doorstep. This is not a difficult problem.

@robinsmith8252 2 ай бұрын

It's still amazes me. The audacity that some people have. They're "upset" about something that can benefit many. To save my view. By the way, it's all "stolen" land. But let's not speak on that issue.

Would have liked to see more investigation and airtime of First Nations voices and younger peoples opinions in this report. Truly terrifying behaviour from individualistic people whose concerns are rooted in their own inconvenience. The irony is that the beautiful landscapes and unique wildlife a lot of these people weaponise will be gone if we don’t act now.

There's plenty of farmland, why do we have to destroy native forests? Place wind turbines on degraded exotic pasture, grazed by sheep cattle etc.

@scottd8108 2 ай бұрын

Pasture is generally flat - the wind is higher on the hills.

@johnkym-uo1gt 2 ай бұрын

The wind has to blow fairly strong and consistently to be chosen as a viable site..

@edo599 2 ай бұрын

Still have to get the power to a grid. If too far, the losses exceed the generation. Nota bad thought though.

Prime example of horseshoe theory at work here. Also, where are the young people and indigenous groups? Those are the ones that will be most impacted by chnaging climate. All you're doing is just speaking to a bunch of nimbys.

@carolyngarman1422 2 ай бұрын

What's your solution?

@IbexThaGoat 2 ай бұрын

For me I have no problems with wind turbines etc. Just the problem is all this moved away from just pure science which it should be but became way too politicized. It's not good.

@jeremyjlavender 2 ай бұрын

It amazes me how prevalent climate change denial and misinformation are! Just when I was starting to feel hopeful there's some momentum for positive change... Still a lot of hard conversations and fact communication needed to avert this looming disaster. Thanks for the insight.

@pete5044 2 ай бұрын

Looming disaster? Please elaborate

@larryfine4719 2 ай бұрын

Every turbine gets a government subsidy. I wonder how long that will last? If wind turbines are to ever succeed they need to be self sufficient from a financial perspective.

@ashdog236 2 ай бұрын

I’m under 40 and not a nimby at all but to meet the target are we going to have hundreds of thousands of these things all over Australia? If so, I don’t want that either

Instead of destroying the environment how about we consider nuclear power?

@qarey 2 ай бұрын

Yeah that's definitely not going to be a controversial one!

@jeremypowell8568 2 ай бұрын

If these communities don't want wind turbines in their back yards just who do you think will accept nuclear in theirs?

@soulsphere9242 2 ай бұрын

Nothing wrong with nuclear, but Australia doesn't really need it.

@Xel_Naga 2 ай бұрын

you're joking right ? you just saw how much wind turbines made everyone crack the shits ?

Exactly

@michylaavery6768 2 ай бұрын

I lived on a property on the edge of world heritage forest in the wet tropics... It's a magical place. We need renewables AND we also need good planning. I'm sure the two can go hand in hand.

Thank you abc for a great show. Build turbines in metropolitan areas please it would make everything better.

Not a lot of wind in the metropolitan areas usually.

@anthonytaylor7875 2 ай бұрын

It’s not just about the “sight” of these turbines. Unless you’ve heard the noise they make, it’s extremely hard to have an informed opinion.

@masaharumorimoto4761 2 ай бұрын

Turbine supporters are crazy, they're willingly ignoring the real cost/output of a turbine over it's life, build nuclear and call it a day.

It is hard not to believe that a million dollars a year isn't the objective. Do it for nothing mate, then you can take the moral high ground. !! Just think.... in the eyes of climate religions and even perhaps in the eyes of God, you'll be far wealthier.
