'Has no idea what he's doing': Bolt calls out Bowen's backflip on offshore wind farms
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 мар 2024
- Sky News host Andrew Bolt has called out Chris Bowen over the Energy Minister's backflip on offshore wind farms, after he had to slash the size of his planned offshore wind farm zone off western Victoria by 80 per cent.
Mr Bolt said last year the Climate Change and Energy Minister "laughed off claims" that the massive offshore wind farms he wants built all along our coast might actually harm whales.
“Nonsense, he scoffed - well, fast forward to this morning when Bowen slipped out a press statement announcing his latest whoopsie," he said.
“Good heavens, he's just had to slash the size of his planned offshore wind farm zone off western Victoria by 80 per cent. You see, it turns out the whales are a real worry, after all."
Mr Bolt said the backflip today proves Mr Bowen is a "smart alec and landscape-wrecker with no idea what he's doing from one day to the next".
Replace Bowen with a whale then if they are smart animals. Bowen can’t navigate anything.
Hahahaha
The dumbest whale in the ocean will be a lot smarter than Bowan.😂
😂hahaha 😂🎉love it🎉😂
YOU GOT ME ROLLING ON THE FLOOR😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉
Good one😂
This person is completely impervious to common sense, economics and science.
The very word Science is not in the Labour Party vocabulary
The Labor Party rely on polls to make their policy... science, economics or common sense NEVER overrule the poll result.
@@karinjohnstone1653 So true.
The matienance of off shore wind farms will be a disaster
Maintenance Costs a Fortune and they Only Last from 8 to 12 Years !
Yes Siemens turbines had 5 billion extra repair costs last year. Offshore farms are expensive uncompetitive.
They are a colossal waste of taxpayers money and resources (including coal and oil).
Net Zero is economically destructive delusional insanity.
I live in Warrnambool and have spent a lot of time sailing around this bit of coast, the storms we get will smash them to bits. It's called the shipwreck coast for a god reason. The repair costs will be massive.
And the northsea wind farms are on a mill pond?.
Honestly, can anyone actually name one portfolio Bowen has been successful at? I'm pretty sure he's failed in everyone of them 🤔
It's True !
Nope.
casanova bowen
yes ....well...sort of ..he was Assistant Treasurer years ago so he would 've been definitely the "junior" and told to be quiet in meetings, so he couldn't have affected or...infected too many policies......🤔
He's a marxist and communist, like albo.
Has there ever been a more destructive politician???
Add Tanya Plibersek to the list. She and Bowen are working together to destroy and impoverish our country.
Apart from the wop snot Abo Sleazy, ur spot on.
YES ALL OF THEM
Bowen has to go .
💯
@@robertmassolini4503no we need him as a sacrifice to remove the whole Labor movement
Lieing Labor rabble nationally has to go.
Bowen is good fun value, not to mention he provides one of the best reasons for Labour being booted out next election ✅
Bowen like Albo just makes it up as he goes!
I think you’re being unkind to gold fish
Bowen has more bluster than the Roaring Forties which will destroy his wind turbines after the first storm.
Ugliest dam things next to giant monster power poles!!!!!
Which of course, is the whole idea.
Chris Bowen wakes up to a perfect world,
"Save the Planet, ban all petroleum products"
Poor Chris Bowen. Life without petroleum and petroleum-based products.
One crisp winter morning in Australia a cute little girl named Chris Bowen woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks.
“What’s this?” she asked.
“Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother.
“What happened to the carpet?” she asked.
“The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response.
Chris Bowen smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fibre bristles.
“Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.”
“Where’s the water?” asked Chris Bowen
“Down the road in the canal,” replied her godmother, Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it.”
“Why’s there no running water?” Chris Bowen asked, becoming a little peevish.
“Well,” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?”
There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth-moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to a make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Australias energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . .
“What’s for breakfast?” interjected Chris Bowen, whose head was hurting.
"Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs,” replied her godmother. “Raw.”
“How so, raw?” inquired Chris Bowen.
“Well, . . .” And once again, Chris Bowen was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up and start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Australia anymore.
“But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented Chris Bowen.
“Tilda died this morning,” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.”
“What?!” interjected Chris Bowen “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.”
“Not anymore,” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum-based. Lots of people are dying, which is problematic because there’s not any easy way of disposing of the bodies since backhoes need hydraulic oil and crematoriums can’t really burn many bodies using as fuel Australian fences and furniture, which are rapidly disappearing - being used on the black market for roasting eggs and staying warm.”
This represents only a fraction of Chris Bowns day, a day without microphones to exclaim into and a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fibre boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet.
Tune in tomorrow when Chris Bowen needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized.
Are you referring to Bowen?
True bit nobody listens 14 years ago I signed a petition against wind turbines because of the mental health issues the noise causes if you live close by 6:23
close 6:23
how dumb is media watch
The ABC management has lost its true charter.
That ABC talking head guy had to be the inspiration of how to make Beavis and Butthead look.
Bowen is a left handed hammer 😵🔨
Labor needs to go that'll change the climate
👍
😂
Chris Bowen logic, "we will build renewables by destroying the natural habitat of native animals and farmland and increase power prices to try to stop carbon, which is a basic necessity of our planet and of which our country produces such a minute amount that stopping carbon production here will have absolutely no impact on the world climate."
Exactly!!!!
YES !!!!!!!!
Carbon is fixed quantity; it can"t be increased or decreased. What is the 'world climate'?
@@tombradshaw5164 exactly..
Without the trees and a healthy ocean w3 will die anyway, maybe we need to look at the environment instead different way, net zero rubbish
We had a guy at work when I did my apprenticeship, we called him “Passion Fingers”. Because everything he touched, he f#cked.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉❤❤❤❤
Offshore wind farms are whale, dolphin and all sea creature killers especially those which use sonar navigation.
Really professor? Tell me more. Will you be publishing a peer reviewed paper soon?
Don't you find it amusing how uneducated some people are ? Not referring to you.
@@rhyno1740Don't you find it amazing how gullible some people are? Not referring to you.
Isn’t the skyline beautiful? Ever wonder about disposal of all that crap in the future when all the lying tyrants a gone?
Don't insult the goldfish!!!!
We're putting up a huge fight here on out beautiful Geographe coast here in WA how dare they think it's ok to do this
Thank you for fighting back....we need to put a stop to all this craziness.....good luck.
It is not of course and completely unjustified as there is so such thing as "human caused global warming/climate change". Just ask the tens of thousands of independent, well qualified Physicists.
You voted for labour
Australia can’t afford a disaster like renewables , there is no need for it anyway the best and cheapest way to generate electricity is coal or natural gas , a power station can be built close to a city or industrial area and save a lot on long distant transmission lines.
And Australians should not worry about CO2 with less than one percent of the worlds population it doesn’t matter if we make a small amount of greenhouse gas, compared with China for example .
I agree. Compromise on this issue only leads to disaster because it's conceding that a lie is the truth. Then a tangled web is wove.
Correct..... Coal is a gift from God and God has been keeping CO2 operational for millions and millions of years.... Now these Climate Fundamentalist believe they know better than GOD.
@@trackdustyWell said.
1% of man made CO2 comes from Australia. Bowen is going to save the world by attempting to bring this to zero. Don't laugh---he was never good at mathematics...
Right and those stats are always dodgy, Australia can make more oxygen than CO2 given the right conditions. Which is happening right now with the big increase in rainfall the usually dry outback is having record rain , this starts vegetation growth and soaks up vast amounts of CO2.
As well this is no laughing matter , Aussies must get serious and take action against these globalist controlled puppets like Bowen who want to weaken the country .@@jackfrost2146
BOLT...SPOT ON, LET THE PEOPLE LEARN THE TRUTH.....IT IS SO EASY FOR POLITICIAN TO WASTE TAX PAYERS WE THE PEOPLE AND THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR SAFETY, POLITICIAN TO MUCH CONCERN FOR THEIR CLIMATE AGENDA.....THIS IS NOT FOR THE PEOPLE and NOT BY THE PEOPLE.....
Blocking the sea lanes with wind farms is like clearing the bush for solar farms.
Serious navigation hazards, and as if skippers on ships don't have enough to do. Am sure dodgy corrupt embeciles like BS Bowen hasn't consulted marine shipping.
Bowens idea of the end of civulizatikn is everyone own a gas car and switches to electric and their is no supply
This government is like an f-ing serial killer who commits all his murders in front of the police station and has not been arrested yet.
Where is Greenpeace when you need them? Maybe the diesel engines of their million dollars 'sail'-schip are getting a check-up...
Greenpeace are captured by ideology. They spread misinformation about nuclear.
Exactly
This labor govt is the biggest threat to all Australians, and the environment!!!!! Can we get rid of these clowns...definitely ZERO CONFIDENCE AND TRUST for them!!!!!
If it was that easy, throw in the queer Greenslime and the blackhearted vulture Teals, therein lies the real tragedy for Aus.
In spite of Bowen being envious of whale smarts, the climate death cult must cease
Congratulations, we've exposed once again that people are gifted positions in which they have little to no basic or fundamental experience and all the tax payers expense, both long and short term.
What about the farmers and our beautiful landscape
Where are the Greens on the whales? Oh the greens are now the new Commos.
The ABC loved it when Bob Brown was saying an LNG terminal in WA would make the whales extinct, but now there is no evidence when the ETU stand to make a heap of money.
Bowen long walk short pier soon please
With a heavy weight tied to his foot.
Lets face it all the windmills and solar panel destroy biodiversity - never mind the visual pollution
Blowen in the wind!
Absolutely pathetic excuse for a person let alone a minister. 🤣
whales are smarter then some humans by the name of chris bowen
He is owned by foreign interest , not australian only in name.
Airbus must be equally short of useful matter between the ears. If he did, this malarky would have been nipped in the bud.
Black out should be relegated to the back bench immediately he is a environmental and economic vandal
Bowen really does need to be medically assessed.
Why bother ???
Of course it’s going to effect marine life not to mention the effect on humans
Grow a brain labour
You cannot rely on the sun or the wind to give you reliable energy. The tide comes in and goes out twice a day come rain hail or snow. Why is this not the focus of these idiots? Too sensible I suppose. As for whales avoiding ships, when I went from South Africa to England with Union Castle in 1970 we hit and killed a whale and on my trip from South Africa to Australia in 1994 we also hit another whale which was damaged but not killed. Why don't they just do what all the clever countries are doing and start building a nuclear plant. Compare the cost of electricity in Australia with any of those nuclear countries.
The communists running Australia will never agree to nuclear power because being an eminently viable electrical power generation solution (68% of France's electrical power comes from nuclear) that eliminates their planned destruction of Australia. Which for those not paying attention, is their end goal.
To be fair you cant blame bowen for Snowy 2 thats on Malcom Turncoat
Bowen wants it more than Mal.
Don't forget Mal was a Labor plant
Both being communists of course. Comrade malcolm being the ultimate in a communist "sleeper"
Ping....the sound that the last existing orange bellied parrot made when it flew into a wind turbine!
Well as the communists are so fond of saying"sometimes sacrifices have to be made" (by YOU for US)
Chris Bowen continues to enshrine himself as the most incompetently destructive and ignorantly arrogant politician in this Country’s history. Albo you need to fire this fool immediately.
We are going to put all the old windmill and solar panels in Bowen back yard
Fairytale renewables 🏳️🌈💅🏽🦄🌈
Net Zero Fake Zero
I think Media Watch needs to be renamed Murdochg Media Watch. Without Sky News, they'd have nothing to talk about! The ABC are pathetic
Politicians are puppets , they don't make a single independent decision.
How long do we have to put up with these clowns
Let’s think about his initial irony of putting ‘environment saving’ wind turbines in the whales home!
Yep why shouldn't be on land either how many animals they killing as well
It’s all ok the tax payer will pay to have them pulled down when it fails
Old Vincey was a professional trampoline grandpa and the backflip was my special move
I think you should run for office.
@@eb2505 vince agrees
Try and bring power bills down labour i dare you
They cant navigate around them if you put them smack bang in their natural navigation path D head Bowen.
Chris Bowen is an unmitigated disaster. The saddest part of all this is the ruining of huge areas of this once great nation. Our beautiful regional and rural landscapes, plus endless kilometres of coastline are being turned into a nightmarish industrial landscape.
Praying this is a one term government!
I thought they've been avoiding objects in the water since they evolved from minnows. Maybe they just got stupid since the windmills were built........
@@FranksHairSalon Minnows are fish they are cetaceans. Your ignorance is staggering.
They are also highly adapted to detecting sound in the water infrasound from turbines affects that process.
Funny how fake the new green is when challenged, congratulations you are now anti whale.
@@FranksHairSalon Minnows are fish your ignorance is staggering.
Cetaceans use eco location to detect objects , they have specialist organs to do so. Infrasound generated from turbines is a threat to that process.
It is not about collisions its about sonic pollution.
Ask yourself if this new " green way " is willing to sacrifice the wellbeing these animals and others.
@@raclark2730We should just be thankful that the oil and gas industries haven't harmed any wildlife either. That would be a terrible thing to see.
I dreamt of being a comedian and acrobat but I've been outclassed by the clowns in Canberra....
It was going to be nearly 15GW which is 3x large coal fired power plants, but now only 2.9GW, which is slightly more than half a coal fired power station.
Of course this is all about the whales and not about being protective of coal at all.
Brainwashed population getting their panties twisted for nothing. The Australian media is run as a business and pr machine for corporates with heavy coal interests. Basically a sad excuse for a media, sadly the media has been successful in its brainwashing which can be seen in the non factual comments negative to renewables.
It is tragically obvious for outsiders to see the hypocrisy in any concerns for animals, nature or environment. Thanks to their silence when it comes to basically anything else their concern is oddly enough no where to be found.
Wind energy is more valuable for millions than a few knob heads getting riled up that they can see a sliver of them on the horizon.
I boils down to feelings and its obvious how thin skinned the populous is with their nimbyism.
His a nut better still he should run for the greens,where’s he going for his next holiday I just wonder
As a sovereignty I'm wondering if we need smarter independent' thinking people governing, without overseas corporates dictatorship. Because this is so obviously beneficial for the UN, WEF and not Australia
If renewables are so good why did commercial shipping stop using wind power one hundred years ago?
Doh !!!
I love these politicians they make me feel smart.
It’s all good. Bowen says green hydrogen will save us 😂 we are fine. Nothing to see here 😂
Bolt is a planet wrecker.
Didn’t think he was a whale expert , and not easy to maintain these things in a 6 metre swell.
Not surprised you've got a smile on your face Andrew. Giving us the Labor/Bowen Clown show.Sad,really,like many a clown that get's it wrong,but Bowen's disastrous climate driven energy policies are not funny & we have to just grin & bare it.
hahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂hahahah he's an academic nutter this Bowen bloke.
He is squandering hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayers money on uneconomical and unreliable renewable energy projects. He is acting contrary to the national interest and needs to be removed from power.
With just a Diploma in an Indonesian foreign language, NEVER academic.
I wouldn’t trust Chris Bowen to walk my dog
The dog would walk Bowen and you know who is the smarter of the two and it ain't Bowen
And yet whale deaths have increased and still are increasing in the USA North East where they are building more and more off shore wind farms. What a curious coincidence.
Interestingly my brother works on the water both here and Europe and has noticed in the last decade issues with actual aggression from marine mammals increasing. Best he can figure is the exponential increase in locating equipment on ships but also on private vessels of all sizes. Throw in the mass beachings of whales etc on various coasts globally and you need to start to wonder what’s going on.
Stands to reason they rely on sonar to navigate and are extraordinarily sensitive to small changes and suddenly we start blasting signals everywhere. It would be like living in the middle of a 24/7 construction site in the dark with no respite. You’d be cranky, in pain and disorientated.
Casanova ha ha ha ha joke of a man / ?
Have the greens gone into hiding ? Can’t decide between whales or wind !
More money in wind
Had an idea about our coal fired power stations. Compulsory acquisition and put them in the hands of somebody with brains and courage. Can we get the Argentinian bloke?.
‘As popular as leprosy’ as good a description as you get.
Why can't politicians and caring Australians stop this madness?
The lack of common sense, basic education and work ethics staggers me with this bunch of doughy arse politicians, ALL PARTIES.
Living up to his nickname
CASSINOVA.
It's the harmonics. Onshore wind-farms are killing tens of thousand of bats, for the same reason.
Ah, yes, Australia will be a "renewable" energy superpower! Will that happen today, tomorrow, or the day after?
Whales are definitely smarter then Chris Bowen.
Bowen is a nut job
People in glass houses should not throw stones.
If the wind turbines go ahead, we'll need whales to light our homes again
Not so, we impaled a whale on the bulbous bow of a cargo ship.
I keep on the saying this, that so-called Bowen must go!!!
We can thank the teals, greens and beguiled folk whom voted them in.
So what happens to all those renewables when bad weather and fire hits with on land also. How will labor plan to keep the power on when hail hits cracking and breaking all the solar panels he putting up everywhere. And high winds brake windmills turbines on mass scale. How will the power come back on in a few hours? Whats the back up plan when coal-fired power plants all get shut down. Thats my question. Placing windmills in the sea hurting animals and making it issue for shipping is another problem. Not only destroying a beach
Blackout Bowen strikes again! 😂😂😂
I cant think of a worse place to put an electric generator. Out in the sea.
Maintenance is going to be a nightmare
Has there never been a more disastrous cult.
Cassonova Bowen - the walking talking bowel movement
Dutton really is Mr Potatohead.
Where are the Greens, on all this ? Crickets.
Wind power does not work without stored energy.
Australia needs 200 Snowy-3 systems, to keep the lights on.
R
Sonar navigation used by whales will be completely stuffed up by the booming of these turbines. It is not simply a matter of "swimming around them"...
Bowen is performing an economic miracle on Australia. It will be a miracle if it survives.
"Whales are smart animals..."
Yes, Bowen. Way smarter than you ol' Son!
Wales???
It is really hard to cure stupid.
Edit: There used to be a time when environmentalists were actually concerned about whales and other wildlife.
