Today Tonight Reports on South Australia’s Wind Power Policy Disaster

AFL’s CEO – Gillon McLachlan Hammers the ‘Desecration of his Country’ & the ‘Extreme Community Division’ Caused by Wind Farms
**** To Australian Aboriginals, the term ‘Country’ is not merely a reference simpliciter to ‘land’. It’s a far broader concept that embodies eternal time, space, spirit and ancestry - an amalgam of all these things - that describes the links between Australia’s first peoples and this beautiful Country.

Bjørn Lomborg: Wind Power ‘Tree’ Symbolises Futility of Paris Climate Jamboree
**** As a baggage train of some 40,000 climate-cultists get set to jet their way home from Paris - burning up a gazillion gallons of (what they normally rail about as being atmosphere incinerating) kerosene - the fair question has to be asked: ‘and all for what?’ The belief that China and India were going … Continue reading Bjørn Lomborg: Wind Power ‘Tree’ Symbolises Futility of Paris Climate Jamboree
What Kills the Australian Wind Industry: A $45 Billion Federal Power Tax
**** The wind industry in Australia is doomed. Australia’s commercial lending institutions know it (calling in their loans and refusing to lend for any new wind farms). The wind industry knows it – hence the big players’ frantic efforts to ditch their wind farms, cut and run – although these fire sales are as much … Continue reading What Kills the Australian Wind Industry: A $45 Billion Federal Power Tax

**** Dr Sarah Laurie has been the voice for rural communities set upon by the wind industry.

Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg Cops a Well-Earned Serve from Alan Jones & Victoria’s Wind Farm Victims
**** In late 2015, any one of our political betters caught paying lip-service to the wind industry can be fairly branded “pig ignorant”; or, if not just willfully blind to the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, then a “piggy with his trotters firmly planted in the subsidy trough”. The wind industry is … Continue reading Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg Cops a Well-Earned Serve from Alan Jones & Victoria’s Wind Farm Victims
