Seven years after Daniel Andrews’ presumptive declaration that his state would be carbon neutral by 2050, a Victorian government review has concluded the replacement of coal and gas generation with the existing sources of renewable energy is “an implausible prospect”.
You don’t need a doctorate in marine engineering to know why planting a wind turbine in the ocean is considerably more challenging than building on terra firma. Local environmental groups are blaming the spike in beachings on the noise and disruption of heavy construction.In 2007, a proposal by Gunns to build a wood chip plant in northern Tasmania collapsed after objections from environmentalists that included the effect of noise from pile-drivers on passing whales.
It warned alteration to the physical and oceanographic habitat could have “cascading impacts on the food chain”. "We should be looking at the whole suite of those and determining as a community which to develop, not leaving it to developers who have profits in mind." The momentous decision was clearly made without a single engineer around the table, for the impossibility of powering Victoria with wind, solar and batteries alone was clear from the very start.
The rest is pure fantasy unless our political leaders come to their senses and realise that the notion of replacing fossil fuels with energy-dilute, land-hungry, unreliable alternatives with a short lifespan is crackers.
Not we. The nutters in govt. Most of us know better.
Or how obsessed Skylie is with Daniel Andrews
Nick Cater is a f'wit.
Who?
Give it a rest It's boring These people have no connection to subject matter expertise. Their views are no more valid than those of my neighbours dog. We're obsessed by the need to survive.
Yeah how dare we move to cheaper, more reliable green energy. Those tyrants 😂😂😂😂
Sky News and its hacks/shills/stenographers show how obsessed the Murdochracy with pushing the fossil fuel corporations' anti-renewables message.
DazzaWhitmey More obvious is Cater's dull rhetorical gambit.
You mean how obessed Nick Cater is with his 'my precious' coal. Renewables are now cheaper than coal.
Another Rupert hate puppet spewing propaganda to make Rupert richer.

Just ridiculous will affect whale migration , labor greens and teals renewables are not renewable !
Products are only pushed due to financial obsession
Andrews pushing for a massively unreliable offshore wind turbines, when the existing onshore projects are running three years late & $ 8 billion over budget. Guess who pays for all this?
Doesn't this deserve more media attention?
That face is a face of an embarressment to earths creation..

The Australian never does a spread on South Australia's successful Renewables
China builds turbines & solar panels for the world - but doesn't use them. China's amazing economic miracle is from coal-oil-gas-hydro, some nuclear. Renewables play almost no part. China-India are exempt from the UN's carbon emissions fiasco.
Renewable energy is a fraud... it's all about millionaires get millions of dollars in subsidies from governments
