The Greens aren't green , they are red .
Socialism with a Green flag not a red one
There melons green on the outside red inside
Watermelons, no brains, green on the outside red inside.
Now that was lovely put. I miss shakespearean.
Total clown world.
Australia is the the big tobacco of exporting carbon. Our economy relies on revenue as we our economy less complex compared to New Zealand.
The hypocrisy is insane.
@@StirlingLighthouse yes it all proves there is an agenda!!!! Wake up folks push back
Where are the greens?
More worried about Palestine, than Australia.
Same as the Labor Party.
Guaranteed, anyone or group that makes an income from an ideology don't really give a damn about the ideology, it's just about generating cash.
@@reekinronald6776 100% I was going to say they're talking about Palestine because that's where the money is now. They've already fleeced governments for the "climate crisis". Those vaults are depleted, they'll be back in 7~10 years to clean them out again.
All human beings should be concerned about the genocide of the native Semites in Palestine by Israeli supremacists, but wind turbines are huge monstrosities which can't be recycled. That's not green.
Greens 😂😂😂 you mean the upper middle class that invest in such programs
Apologies but it is the Labour Party and not the Labor Party, labor is an American spelling and we do not live in America.
Voltaire: “Those Who Can Make You Believe Absurdities, Can Make You Commit Atrocities”
That sums it up perfectly.
Never more appropriate.
Great quote.
Spot on!
Voltaire is my favourite philosopher. Spot on. We have arrived. Wokeville…
You can’t chop down a dangerous gum tree in your backyard, because of the environment but these fools are destroying our countryside.
Yeah, but they say that by chopping down that tree you are a vandal, but 'saving the planet' makes clear felling of forests OK ( LOL)
How many gum trees are there in Australia?
Clear felling is sustainable harvesting. What Tanya Plibersek and Chris Bowen have endorsed is a total destruction of flora and fauna. All growth is pushed aside with no silt barriers in place, an absolute environmental disaster. 1 Million Hectares of pristine forest has so far been destroyed. This is 1/6th of requirement to reach 85% renewables.
@@viskovandermerwe3947 There are many different varieties of Gum trees.... some common, some not so common.
Hypocrites and corrupt
Without Government subsidies and incentives , not one of these turbines would be installed because they are not economically viable.
Then why did Barnaby invest in the Mining company supplying these techs months before the government gave them the grants? He used his son's name to avoid insider trading laws. Meanwhile his latest news letter to his voters spouts how he is fighting renewables for us. A drunk liar and thief who was voted in by the same people who are complaining about this mess. Ignorance isn't bliss, it is evil. Get educated or be a slave!
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.
They can't find a job as radioastronomers. But they can be employed as green power evangelists.
Which will destroy all the surrounding area too in the long run
Not to mention the roads that need to be built for maintenance workers to get there. What do you think all those lines are connecting all the windmills...
@@Emppu_T. Like cattle ranching or similar?
Because an astronomical telescope doesn’t create renewable energy mate.
Where do most of the Greens voters live? that's right, the inner city.
Mostly in the wilderness that exists between their own ears.
They live where air pollution is the worst. (Then they go hang out in underground tunnels where air quality is even worse!)
Most greens have never seen grass and think it's a conspiracy theory
Future generations will look back on this time with utter rage at how idiots like Bowen could have first of all got into power, then proceeded to destroy the country. His name will be reviled.
As an EX-Californian, I can agree. Live in city pollution & go visit a 90%+ renewable country like Denmark. You'll never get over the difference in pollution
Why are there only a handful of Senators calling this out !
This Labor government is a disgrace.
The others are on the take. And I'm not joking.
Follow the money.
Thay are either all onboard with the WEF agenda, suffering from group think or just morons.
It’s NOT a “disgrace.” It’s TinYRANNY.
@@hazcat640I would, but I’d get stuck in a pol or crat’s pocket.
Anyone who loves Australia needs to vote Albo out.
Vote independent only liberal and Greens are crazy as well.
Do you still BELIEVE that our vote counts?
What a pity that our only alternative is Starchy Voldemort.
@@spudsmckenzie4123 You mean Starchy who won't destroy our economy, environment, cost of living and energy grid? While not bringing in so many immigrants that our kids will have somewhere to live?
Yep, True that
This is an absolute disgrace. The labor government has got to be kicked out as with them greens and teals
I guess the majority of Australiens voted for them. Right?
I remember the other year when it was the Liberals who needed to be kicked out. The government is just a revolving door.
@peterfiedler9085 were they better off though? I have spoken to first migrants that want to vote for one nation. So labor shouldn't count of their vote soon.
What Vote, they are all the same patting each other on the back at the bar! Its a joke your vote does not count. The system is pre determined . They laugh at us controlled minions brainwashed having some hope
that your vote counts. Pre planned agendas way in advance before they happen.
And vote liberal back in?
Yes, where are the Greens & Environmentalists now.
Planning more environmental destruction to destroy all industry and quality of life... Seriously.
They were never the real deal .
@@Philip-hv2kc
True!
Sell out garbage opposite to environment
clown world
I wonder if Billy Gates knows about this. He the chief liars father😂
This is what destroying the planet looks like kiddies.
Mad isn’t it. Creating renewable energy rather than mining all the earths resources.
@@Audioremedy0785 Ah, all of the plethora of resources needed to generate your renewable power sources. Huge increases in the needs for all of the critical minerals that will have to more than quadruple their mining and refining if the renewable energy targets are to be met.
@@planesounds I forgot that petrol doesn’t use resources 😂😂
@@Audioremedy0785. Without petrol you wouldn’t have the life you have today and certainly no internet,to make ridiculous comments on!!
I can never understand people who want to generate electricity by burning thousands of tons of coal and gas rather than use equipment that uses wind and sunshine to achieve the same thing.....
We talk about pollution e.g. noise pollution. What about visual pollution? This is dreadful! 😢
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.
And keep in mind that the cement industry is responsible for 15% of global CO2 emissions.
Let’s not forget each wind turbine takes around 50 gallons of oil which needs to be changed every 6 months
No, it’s a lubricant
@@AcemeistreI think the point is, where’s the oil coming from if it’s not fossil derived?
@@Acemeistre Yes, likely sent to a company licenced to burn waste oil products I am afraid.
@@Acemeistrethis dude really compared lubricant to pretend they don't generate MW’s of the citiess power lmao
You are wise.
Vote One Nation or vote Labour Out….!
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
Had it also made you emotional the amount of land clearing that had taken place over the decades? Fk people have some funny priorities sometimes.
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.
I'm sure the Aboriginals will be onto it , there's money to be had .
What vested interests are being satisfied here..? Chris Bowen is allowing Australia to be destroyed..?
It is economically destructive delusional insanity. A few green carpet baggers and their shareholders temporarily benefit at everyone else’s expense.
The government is acting contrary to the national interest by misappropriating massive amounts of taxpayers money into uneconomical and unreliable renewable energy projects.
The current government needs to be voted out ASAP before more money is squandered and more countryside is defaced.
Casanova Bowen
Two types :
01. Financial - vested interests.
02. Political - totalitarian Marxism at individual, government and corporate level with corporatism being the dominant power force.
Agenda 2030….
The same thing is being done to the English speaking world.
Let's face it, we, on several occasions, stopped the globalists having their fun.
So they're taking out Britain, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand before their next playtime
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.
Dont call them "Farms"! They want all Natural gone. Fake "MEAT" etc.
Thanks to share your insight. Its refreshing to ear the facts, true and circunstances of other prespectives
Thought ur power was predominantly hydro, u hv NO need for wind. Just another opportunity for huge wealth transfer.
Same here in Scotland
I believe the reason you are not allowed to drive away from main roads is because the heavy industry aligned with Government money making cooperation may be embarrassed by general public calling them out as they pillage these wilderness areas.
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.
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
I am a New Zealander , to watch that willfull delerbrat destruction of nature was disturbing .
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.
This seems to be the same for Labor governments. They're aiming to bring their countries down by bankrupting them and starving the population. Makes it easier for the communists to infiltrate.
You know why farmers rent out perfectly good fields to solar farms, it is guaranteed money per acer.
And the agreed rent it the same as the amount of money the field could produce in the best of years.
Plus obviously the farmers spend zero on production costs.
The same applies to a wind turbine, except the field is only out of production for the year of construction.
Once construction is finished the farmers only get paid for the few meters of land they cannot use around the bace of the tower, same as the grid towers.
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
Environmental damage on unprecedented Scale , incredible 😢
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.
Its greed for money. Living for the now and not giving a damn about the future.
You are wise. I study this and those behind it. Central control of ALL production and distribution of electricity IS the goal. Nuclear to be the primary means of production. “Green” is just a stepping stone towards their goal-sow destruction and chaos, then take over. Its C…ism.
All of these wind and soar factories, and their backup gas turbine plants, will be abandoned for nuclear.
100% - governments all over the world are just literally throwing money away buying this junk...tax payer money. Will bankrupt the West which is the plan of those promoting it.
I just don’t understand how anyone can call themselves a conservationist and be ok with this. It’s so antithetical to being good stewards of our environment.
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!!
wind turbines were never meant to be recycled, they produce electricity from the wind...that is all they do and all they have ever claimed to do...
So much for Labor being the party to save the forests right? Vote them out.
Vote out the greens too. They're right behind albo in this vandalism.
Time to rethink the nuclear option for electricity generation
"Cut down the trees."
"Why?"
"To save the forest you dummy!"
Sums up the climate doom and gloom cult reasoning.
None of these areas should be destroyed for any of these turbines! Not even 1 turbine.
Tanya Plibersek Minister for the Environment is now the Minister of Destruction.
No worries, mate! They're from the government and they're here to help.
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...
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.
Australia economy relies on carbon exports and we our the big tobacco of carbon exports and will never change.
The one's that don't want to meet God will be found hiding underground.
How's that praying working out?
It wouldn't matter if you're trying to save the planet lmao, taking over pollution is a good goal regardless. This dude speaking is a paid oil and gas salesmen lmao. Australias grid is currently 50% renewable, theyd have to demand & implement grid batteries. Purest solution
Don’t pray for the planet - He’s promised to destroy it by fire in the end. Pray for those who in their rebellion have rejected Him, that He may have mercy on them and open their eyes- that they turn from their ways and trust in Christ. I was once one of them.
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.
A kiwi here tears in my eyes for my Aussie brothers and sisters homeland being destroyed.
Every Australia Should See it Everyone Post This to your Friends and Families This is Really Sad This is Not Australia at All
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!
In Scotland the Govt is cutting down 16 MILLION trees to make space for wind factories!
So so sad!! Our politicians are totally corrupt, with not a thought of the destruction ‘net zero’ is ushering in. Climate change is the biggest scam of our current times. 😔
So much for carbon capture
Clean and green, clean and green... Say it often enough and obviously some people will buy the bullshit
Disgusting
@@stevejones6349😢
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!
Yes, trillions of dollars in government contracts to be given out to politically connected companies and individuals.
It’s not about the climate it’s about dystopian rule and destruction to bring in a new world of rule
Bingo!
It’s C…ism.* C…ists always go after the most important life sustaining industry, agriculture and farms-food. They’ve added energy now.
*That’s a censored word.
The New World Order!
Grim!
Very obvious as this is the only explanation that makes sense.
Its about draining money from the people.
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! Brian Hind , from the wind swept Prairies of Alberta Canada
There IS a group. They’re the ones that censor any mention of them. But some of us know.
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.
God bless Australia 🇦🇺 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
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.
Yes, and the life span of these turbines is 15 years - not 20. Also, they need to run at optimum (peak) capacity for 14 years before they are even EQUAL to the CO2 production of the equivalent energy produced by a black coal turbine generator. (source NSW dept. Evironment). I do not need to say that these things rarely, if ever operate at peak... The other nasty secret is that they produce more CO2 in their lifecycle than a coal fired powerstation for the same energy production.
The blades are recyclable. It's difficult to make a p-r-o-f-i-t recycling the blades. The cost of transporting the bulky low-value material ruins the economics.
Veolia Environmental Services in Louisiana, Missouri recycles blades from the Midwest
@@timothykeith1367 Anything is "recyclable" for enough taxpayer money... The scandal which seems to be a world-wide issue, is that most of what we "recycle" (paper, glass etc.) goes to a warehouse for "recycling" where it sits for a few years, then gets shipped to landfill or an incinerator when people are not looking. There has been so many news stories about this in Australia and Europe in the past few years. I seriously wonder how much of those blades actually gets "recycled" and what happens to the carbon fibre etc.?
They found some dumped in the Queensland bush about a year ago! Never heard anything about what happened to them. They were massive.
@@alexnutcasio936 Yes, renewable energy components like solar panels and wind turbines can be recycled, though the processes mayyy efficiency vary.
**Solar Panels:**
- **Materials**: Solar panels primarily consist of glass, aluminum, silicon, and various metals like silver and copper.
- **Recycling Process**: The process typically involves disassembling the panels to recover these materials. Glass and aluminum are highly recyclable, while silicon wafers can be purified and reused in new panels. Precious metals like silver and copper are also recoverable.
**Wind Turbines:**
- **Materials**: Wind turbines are composed of steel, copper, aluminum, and composite materials for the blades.
- **Recycling Process**: Steel and copper are straightforward to recycle. Aluminum parts can also be recycled. The blades, made from composite materials like fiberglass or carbon fiber, are more challenging to recycle. Efforts are underway to develop methods for repurposing or recycling these composite materials.
- **Challenges**: The recycling of turbine blades is particularly problematic due to their size and material composition. Innovative solutions, such as grinding the blades for use in cement production or repurposing them for other uses, are being explored .
Overall, while there are established methods for recycling many components of solar panels and wind turbines, further advancements and innovations are necessary to improve the efficiency and viability of recycling these renewable energy technologies.
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.
Well to be fair you would need the sun for solar panels
@@unnamedchannel1237 i knew that was coming. how? because if you hadn't have typed it, i would have. 😁
@@Acemeistre The sun only shines for half the day and has its best effect between nine and three in the day.And the warmer they get, the less they produce. Building solar panels where the sun shines the most is unfortunately not a solution to the problem.
Same as when they overproduce, that energy has no way of being saved either. Bit like the black and white films of someone pedalling a bike to power a light bulb!!
And hail eats solar panels, as learned quite well in America this year. And high storm winds gain leverage under rooftop panels. _Nice roof you had there._
I couldn’t watch the video , to see all that buttery of your trees 🌲 & landscape. 😢
This madness is going on everywhere in the world.
I'm speechless! Can't find the words to begin to describe how enraged this made me.
Has that been approved by Queen Greta Dumberg ???😢
How dare you! It's ok. We are saving the planet
Greta recently took down a 2018 post where she stated that if we didn’t stop using fossil fuels we would all be dead in 5 years. It’s all a scam.
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?
"Wind factories..."
I call them *_mining rigs._*
Heartbreaking to see.
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.
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.
This makes me so sick. Please keep up your good work to let the public know.
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.
Remember the days when we were taught what good trees, and forests did for air quality?
This is terrible. I’m in the US . I’m so sorry this is happening
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.
If they were serious about "saving the planet" we would be building nuclear power stations right NOW! The latest Russian models recycle about 90+% of the fuel. They are also the safest nuclear reactors in the world with many failsafe mechanisms.
Bandt has The Greens power base in Victoria (well, more Melbourne) and to them regional Queensland doesn't really exist. No votes for the Greens in country Queensland (they actually score half of PHON in most electorates). The only part of Queensland that they know about is the REEF. And only when it is dying.
Where is Greenpeace when they are cutting down lush forests and animal habitats?
Every turbine has a light. You ain’t seen nothing until you see that visual distraction.
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.
Because EVs are better for the environment and can run of renewable evergy mate.
@@Audioremedy0785*can* run off renewables, not all the time… and when making these renewables costs the environment and wildlife? Oh that’s right the green idiots don’t care as long as they can get their “green” energy, hypocrisy at its finest.
Who is FISTING all of these state & Federal Politicians?
Just a reminder, no commercial wind turbine yet built has been energy positive.
Corruption Needs Stupidity
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.
Nuclear has always been the way ahead.
The unsaid thing is that wind and solar REQUIRE backup fast-on gas turbine plants* be built. So even if aliens dropped the wind and solar factories in place one night, numerous hydrocarbon burning plants would still need to be built.
*Nuclear plants cannot act as fast-on backup. But nuclear is, and had been, the best choice for electricity production.
@@user-hj7kd2jo6hYou are wise.
The same is happening in Spain. They're removing plenty of fruit trees to install solar panels and wind turbines.
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.
Turns out to save the planet you need to destroy it.
No matter how many multiples of needed capacity you build, when there is no wind, you get no output. NetZero brains here.
@@angusclark8330.…. My guy where did your thinking go lmao.
What a disgrace chop down the best thing to absorb carbon for wind farms the carbon footprint to build these is unreal
14 million trees were cut down in Scotland to make way for wind turbines.
14 million trees cut down for wind farm projects… across 20 years. With 272 million trees being planted in the same period (since 2000). Context is always quite important when it comes to statistics….
@@Audioremedy0785 Yes but they would have 14 million more trees without the land polluting wind turbines.
@@tonysheerness2427 that’s not how it works mate. Tree planting initiatives are driven by the need to replace trees that have been removed as part of other projects. And usually they overcompensate. So had those 14 million trees not been removed, there would be less trees. But good try though 👍🏻👍🏻
@@Audioremedy0785 So 14 million more trees makes less trees.
@@tonysheerness2427 it doesn’t. If they planted more than 14m trees (for example 20m trees) to replace the 14m trees they took away (which they did), if they don’t take away the 14m trees they don’t plant the 20m trees. It’s not hard.
You have motivated me. I am 100% off grid using solar panels and lifepo4 batteries etc but I now feel a need to add a wind turbine to add power incase the sun stops. Thankyou so much, what a great idea. It will erected this weekend. Awesome.
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.
Queensland is beautiful or was before wind factories.
I recently drove from Cairns up the mountain to Mareeba and was horrified to see virgin rainforest (right next to the Daintree) cleared completely for a wind factory. I read later that this factory was suposed to produce enough power for Kulnura, Marreba and part of Cairns but so far - in several years - has not exceeded 15% of it's promised capacity. A capacity that the operators are paid for by taxpayers.
This needs to be put on main street media and all TV talk back programmes and CB sued for destruction of the environment.
Oh God!!! I'm lost for words. What is the government thinking? ARE they thinking???
I really enjoy your videos. Much love from Melbourne💙
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.
@@Acemeistre They look shit and aren't clean. Shipped from China using the dirtiest bunker oil on the planet. Uses many tons of concrete for the foundation and when the blades need changing very often they get buried in landfill.
Not to mention the amount of copper to be mined in South Africa and shipped to connect them from their remote area to the grid. For the ones at sea tripple all costs. Really clean.
I hate those eyesores. How many birds, bats, and insects will those damn things kill?
их цель уничтожить жизнь на нашей планете,это начало Конца этого Мира,когда же вы поймёте ?что человечеству объявлена война на полное уничтожение и всем другим видам Углеродной формы жизни тоже!!!!!!!!!
Because of course coal plants are much better for wildlife 🤣🤣🤣
@@Audioremedy0785 Haven't heard of nuclear power, have you?
@@sbeers88 I have. But it has its environmental drawbacks.
@@Acemeistre The birds, bats and insects that are killed by the spinning blades of a wind turbine are a very different demograph to those killed by cats (both domestic and feral). The number killed by buildings is negligible, so a false argument.
The double standard is beyond insane. All standards are casually brushed aside in the name of net-zero.
The average wind turbine here in Sweden contains about 600 liters of oil (really big ones about 3000 liters.....) And yes, it has to be changed at a regular basis. These monsters also collapse a little now and then, splashing it all on the ground!
Then they complain if my car has a small oil leak 😞
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?
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.
What also matters is which birds are being killed. The birds killed by wind turbines include raptors (including the Wedgetailed Eagle) and flocks of migratory birds. Cats mainly predate on ground and low level birds. At least in many areas there are plans to control cats. Both domestic and feral.
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.
This is beyond a time to cry
This video alone should be the evidence that we need nuclear right now to stop this
You can't have nuclear right now. The best we can do is 15 years from now, if we start now.
How are people so blind? It wasn't so long ago we were screaming about cutting down the rain forests.
Didn't the GREENIES Kick up a STINK in TASMANIA when they wanted to go HYDRO
Here in Croatia we have a "National park" Velebit, in which everything is forbidden, camping, bulding, skiing, etc...but ugly useless wind turbines are fine
Birds shredded, funny line!
Wonder what the concrete pads CO2 footprint was? Ireland has a similar problem and backed off.
remember seeing something in the u.s - all the farmers ruing the day 20 years ago they thought would cash in with a wind turbine but are now left with a huge concrete block on their land and no income from the long gone windmill - and they were comparatively small back then too (the windmills, not the farmers).
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.
Each year, 1 in every 6,000 wind turbines catches on fire.
This is sickening! Imagine the cost of replacing all of these at the end of service life in 15-20 years time.
It has been stated that it will cost $600,000 in today's money per turbine to dispose of them at end-of-life. I suspect that figure is underestimated, the turbines being installed here now are 280m to 250m metres high. It would obviously be expensive to transport them out of remote areas so the likely scenario is that they will be left in situ. It isn't clear who is responsible for their decommissioning, dismantling, disposal and land rehabilitation but it's likely that it will be the same people who paid for them in the first place, the taxpayers.
Solar panels and wind turbines continue to damage the environment in Japan as well -- without the local residents even realizing it.
Utterly shocking
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?
wow this is making me cry
"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot".
Need to rewrite that song 🎵
