- Sky News host Rita Panahi has praised Italy for embracing “common sense” after the government banned the installation of solar farms on agricultural land.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Melini said solar farms are threatening the nation’s “food sovereignty”.
Ms Panahi said they are “shockingly ugly” and are “scarring” the land.
The Italian government is super sensible, Giorgia has the brain and the heart which Albanese obviously lacks.
Why don't you take her?
Solar panels for city and town rooftops, not on productive farmland.
They have a short life span and the waste is more toxic than nuclear waste.
@@elenawalker3746 Agreed, but try telling Albanese that.
@@kennethrichardson8311Or the lefty malcontents that vote for him!
Sounds nice but they are forcing people when building any kind of extension to their house to equip the roof of that extension with solar panels. So a forced investment.
Another green hoax trap.
Victoria the food basket of Australia are going to replace food with solar panels
Victoria is the basket case of this country 🧺 I still love Victoria and victorians but your government is the pits OMG 😳
Victoria a dreary place
Not after what trump said clearly it’s a scam and his going to dig dig dig so 🇦🇺and it’s 1% carbon emissions means nothing it’s laughable, fire up our coal and gas ✊🇦🇺
Under the windmills are about 100 tonnes of concrete.
No try 30,000 tonnes
@@MelbourneHandyman😮😮😢
Shh, you’re not supposed to say the quiet stuff out loud
I heard 300-500 tonnes, sounds more like it.
Smaller/earlier turbines had around 800 ton of concrete per footing,the large ones now are around 1200 to 1300 ton of concrete per footing!
Worked on the MacArthur wind farm in South West Victoria around 7 years ago & they required 800 ton of concrete per footing.
We've got a lot to learn from Italy. It's time we stop wasting money on solar and wind farms.
Don't call them "farms" as that makes them sound natural and organic and they are far from being that. Call them Solar and Wind Factories or any other thing you like that doesn't "soften" their reality of concrete, oil and toxic chemicals.
Solar farms are insane!!!
Labor? Common sense? Bowen -common sense, Greens,Teals common sense that ll be the day!!😂
Hi I’m from Alberta Canada I was asked both if I could what a wind farm or a solar farm I said I wasn’t interested I would rather have pump jacks hence oil and gas which I do have a few I got a letter from our famous environment minister telling me I wasn’t a true Canadian lol so I went through my MP to tell that sniveling snake to come and talk to me guess what he hasn’t made an appointment lol
Why do these projects have to be always in prime agriculture areas
It has taken a woman to exercise common sense and hopefully lead the way for others.
I love Rita!
Wind turbines snap like pop cycle sticks in tornadoes
none of the "teals" have to live near solar panels or wind turbines
Our latest energy bill in Australia, $550 for 28 days. What a joke!
Mine in NZ, central north island ( it's cold ) $100. Use wood for heating and hot water. Greenies probably hate me for that. Don't care. Firewood is cheap or free where we live.
Bring Georgio OVER Here!
they underestimated the love of Italians for their food... 🤌
Why doesn't Australia use its arid outback for solar farms?
Short answer- Too expensive, even for Labor.
But in UK they are still destroying farm land for net 0 🤔
Let's be clear about what Italy's Common sense Solar Panel Policy is..............
The Italian government has issued a new decree that prohibits the deployment of large-scale solar plants on productive agricultural land. The final aim of the decree is to “avoid desertification” of Italian agricultural land.
Italy Solar Panel Policy is to regulate the use of photovoltaic panels, land serves to produce, and energy production must be compatible with agricultural production,”
The aim is to ensure solar panels cannot be installed in agricultural areas.
The move will halt speculation by large investment funds proposing large-scale solar plants on productive agricultural land for monetary gain putting agricultural production at risk
Australia take note and put a stop to the madness of Chris Bowen
Bravissima Georgia😂🇮🇹🇦🇺
Meloni is proving to be a very good leader.
You are proving to be a dumb tater
Solar panels on my roof heating my water is about all I am prepared to do, hot water for 6 mths of the year, 6 month cold and have to boost heat it with electricity….end of story!
Melini is smart. Unlike the guy named Corn Pop Joe . Wake up Joe, it’s Gerber time.
Italians like good food and coffee, not the proposed factory-made Solient Green in factory powered by sunshine,
Who's responsible for damage to the land?
What is the exchange rate of a Km square of natural bush to the average value of soar panels or wind driven energy. Don’t forget the flora and fauna.
Ahh!! Common Sense at Last. Something Albo and Bobblehead Bowen don't have. 🤭
Viva Italia!!!😊😊😊
This is spooky - just one or two days ago I wrote a comment with exactly the points that are now made by the Italian government against the so called "sustainable" solar panels! I even feared to have gone a bit overboard with theorizing about the consequences (pollution under the panels, due to sludge in, and consecutive swilling of the water pipes, disconnection of soil organisms from sunlight, loss of arable land, and food scarcity, especially after the fertilizer shortage due to the Ukraine war), but the decision in Italy seems to prove my reservations right. Brave new world...
[My opinion follows, thank you if you are interested, but feel free to ignore, it's ok if it only consumed my own time:
*The only incentive for putting solar panels on house roofs or on arable soil is greed!*
Nothing beats tax generated remuneration for the expensive and ugly installations - but only short-term.
All the energy-effective gadgets in our modern households still need energy, and if their number increases, or if there are also one or more EVs, then the national power grids will not be able to withstand the skyrocketting demand from all sides.
Only one directly hitting solar flare, or a tectonically or otherwise generated EMP is able to wipe out any power grid regionally, or even globally *FOR A LONG TIME* . Goodbye cashless society, digital documentation, GPS...
Think only about dentists' drills - who wants to sit in the chair with a tooth half drilled open when the power fails, if there is no independent power supply as backup (diesel generator, like in to date hospitals etc.!)?
Some army depots may still have such implements from the 1960s, which can be joined with treadmills or ergometer-like bicycles. In the 1990s I once saw such a mobile dentistry unit with a muscle-powered drill on the chair. It was a curiosity, but at the time kept for deployment to regions without electrical current (after earthquakes etc.). I bet those things were thrown out long ago, but we may happen to need them again soon.
And please don't get me started about *fallback systems for elevators, water pumps for toilets, faucets etc., lighting for tunnels etc., emergency or healthcare services (police, fire depts, hospitals with surgery depts, ICUs and ERs...) and electrical vehicles.*
{Another point: the *turnover rate and planned obsolescence for modern gadgets* . In my youth you could inherit an old washing machine, and use it 30 years or longer, but now? I kept hearing that my devices were functioning up to three times longer than could be expected (12 vs. 4 years washing machine, 10 vs. 3 years tumbler, over 22 vs. max 10 years fridge combination...), and that I should keep the things, because they needed more energy, but worked better than the newer ones.
But in the last five years it has become more expensive to repair items than to buy and install new ones! After I had to sell my house and moved into a rented flat, I have to use what comes with it (this is customary for rented places in CH). The gadgets are new, but not better than my own old ones, which I had to discard because I could not take them with me.}
On the one hand everything has to be organic (less produce on larger areas, with much more work and costs for it!) and conserving, and on the other one wide areas which could be used for producing agronomical produce are destroyed, maybe beyond regeneration.
*Either way, there will be a lot less food produced than with the conventional agriculture methods, and it will be more expensive.*
In my opinion it seems as if we the people as a global population are deemed too many, and that *maybe food scarcity could be a means to decrease our numbers* ... But nobody would even think about such "solutions", or would they?!?]
Somehow about a year ago some of these huge wind blades "got washed up" in the Queensland bush. We used to call it illegal dumping but "getting washed up" is a far nicer term.
Mama Mia - some common sense 👏👍
Wind turbine had one propeller shatter and shards are washing up on the beach, people told to take care, great……
Australia has plenty of desert land why can’t the solar panels be put there. Or supply all house, shopping centres, and factories with solar panels.
You loose power the further away it is from where it's being used.
Solar panels are also vulnerable to overheating, they create extreme hot air under the panels when angled and can damage electronics and cause the panels to break down in hot environments
On top of buildings they work pretty well as a secondary power source for small appliances, emergency power, or to reduce the impact of whatever the primary power source has
There’s a maximum efficiency solar panels have for their size and we’re pretty close to reaching that, so it’s difficult to be solar panel focused
Cost, I live in Darwin, it is just a gravy train
Abodiginee
How many billions do you want to spend on transmission lines to transport the power from these deserts to us instead of using the current infrastructure?
I THINK AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF ENERGY COSTS GOING UP BECAUSE I SURE HAVE .....NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS GOVERNMENT NO MORE
Love it 😻
Sicily is in state of emergency for water shortage. The region is experiencing its worst drought in decades and what is the Meloni government doing? As an italian I see no common sense in the way this govt is leading the country.
Three weeks ago Matteo Salvini gave the go-ahead to the use of desalination plants to deal with the drought emergency in Sicily. They decided to give full powers to the extraordinary national commissioner for urgent interventions related to the phenomenon of water scarcity, to proceed with the acquisition and installation of desalination plants and implement the necessary measures to deal with the emergency. Reading certain comments, Giorgia Meloni should have solved all the disasters left by the idiots who governed before her in two years
Let Bowen and Ambrosario eat the spent renewables for breakfast lunch and dinner.
The wind turbines make a dreadful roaring noise as well.
Wind has a low energy density and wind power is centuries out of date. Wind farms only exist due to massive taxpayer funded subsidies. They make no economic sense. They are a colossal waste of taxpayers money and resources (including coal, oil and copper).
Solar panels are only economical as a supplement in sunny areas between the 35th parallels. Even in favourable areas there is a major mismatch between peak supply and peak demand. Inclement weather can render them useless for prolonged periods. Industrial scale storage is prohibitively expensive.
They make no economic sense in cloudy upper latitude areas such as Europe.
People go on about nuclear waste and where do you store it. We have a bigger problem with wind turbines and solar panels having to be replaced every 20 years.. Where do you dump tens of thousands of solar panels and wind turbines? The area needed would be enormous in comparison to the storage requirements of Nuclear waste.
James is109% correct about food security and farms.
Albo & Bowen their entire lives have been paracites on the taxpayer, first from inception, plus medical, their birth, s/sec money to mothers, schooling, uni then basically into political life, then they will recieve taxpayer funded super until they and and their spouses ngave passed!
They had over 7000 Invaders arrive on Lampedusa more than the whole population of the Island ferried then to mainland
Food sovereignty ha , there are plenty of bugs crawling around that will be good enough for you
Smart and Hot. The Italian PM
My a-hole looks prittier
Snow ball affect solar panels lol
I have never been in Australia, but I think you have plenty of virtually unusable land... Especially for you what on hearth is the reason to use good land for solar farms???
Solar farms are sensible and safe and good for the environment just as long as the market is cornered by the West 😂

4:00 'If my kid was taken I wouldn't care about other dead kids or even my blame my own government for not accepting a ceasefire to get him back I'd only want more dead kids to get him back'
What ?
@@Berserker978 Did you see my Maloni comment? it seems like RUclips deleted it. I just repeated what he said, he doesn't even blame the IDF for Eliminating the hostages on purpose. He just want's all Palestinians punished
What drugs are you on?
Suggest you reduce the dosage
@@rogerwilco4736 how is that not what he said? He says he doesn't care about the dead. Meaning he wouldn't even blame Isreal for eliminating the hostages on purpose.
How did Panahi become an "Expert" on everything. She is now comparing a tiny, by comparison, country with the world's biggest island. Italy makes fine cars. Does she still criticise Abbott for ensuring Australia made no cars at all. Is she pretending that roof top solar is attractive, or does she realise that thousands of conservative supporters, those that pay her wages, see the value in common sense.
Australia is a CONTINENT Not an Island and Solar Farms are Destructive to the Environment and the Flora and Fauna.
It's triple the population of the U.S so I think you can compare the two
She's a journalist. She conducts research and presents it.
If you don't even know that, don't comment. Read and understand this, FH.
Lunatic presenters.
