The acting Victorian Premier James Merlino announced the state will cut its emissions by 50 per cent by 2030 on its way to net zero emission by 2050. Mr Murray said the government “can’t pretend” transitioning from the current power grid is “effortless, is costless”. “As Victoria makes its way towards more renewables, they will have greater reliability on things like wind farms, which will be set up in regional Victoria.

Yes, a blight on the landscape...
