well done john you really got your point across.it's alway's the same.they never give you a staight answer.they allway's get there way.money talk's.hope it all go's well.stay safe. gary.
Good coverage John. I'm in NE Victoria and the amount of prime farming land taken to solar is nothing short of staggering. Remember years ago the talk of food shortages and gearing up to eat insects for protein. Now the world is going crazy about energy. These greenie must be looking forward to dinning on crickets by candlelight!! The world has gone made. Say goodbye to good healthcare, education and decent roads. All the best.
Yes you are right. One thing the candles must not be made of wax derived from oil have to be bees wax. Hang on the world is short of bees. I know put the lights on their electric car. Ha Ha. John
The wind farms have to be put where there is a constant supply of relatively high winds. If they stir up the locals enough, all that huffing and puffing can only help them out! 🤨🙄 The only real supporters of the project will be the 2 landholders whose properties the stuff will land on. The backhanders they will be getting in rent will be much more than they will be making off the land. As to the heavy equipment stuffing up your road in the wet, the Army used to do their training in the scrub around Koombooloomba Dam in years gone by. The timber cutters didn't mind them being there even if they tore up the bush roads because they would always hire a local contractor to do a good grade up and repair job afterwards. Free road maintenance! 😉😊
Yes you are right. The two land holders are 2 people one block. The contractor bloke said they look for the line of least resistance. 1 transmission lines 2 enough wind. 3 not many people to kick up a stink. John
For Africa its concentrating on hydroelectric power like grand Renai cense dam. Nuclear is good for Australia enough space to build the plants and available uranium. renewable can't replace old sources of energy.On the issue of electricity many African countries have made big effort.we used to experience 5 days blackout now thing of the past.we also have wind farm very big but other sources like geothermal work in Africa one big site is olkaria power station.
Thanks for that information Gerald. Kenya (and other countries along the Great Rift Valley volcanic belt) have great potential to use Geothermal Steam for electricity production. Unfortunately Australia is a very old, stable and dry land mass so our opportunities for Geothermal and Hydro Power generation are somewhat limited. We have plenty of sun, but you have to cover a lot of ground with solar panels and the best areas to site them are many miles from where the power is needed. No doubt we'll all have to get used to the coming changes. After all our grandfathers had to have a man with a red flag walk in front of their cars to ensure that they didn't frighten the horses. 😉😊
We are surrounded by them here John, they are everywhere on the beautiful countryside, and the roads are full of potholes from the never ending convoy of trucks. There is a massive wind farm planned about an hour away and the communities don’t want it, but they never listen to the locals. Australia has lost the plot… we now live in a dictatorship, people need to wake up. Take care xx Cathi xx 😘
That about sums it up. Imagine the money going to China to buy all the components for the wind farms. The best bit about it for the manufacturer is the minute they are built they start degrading and that process increases as soon as they are installed. Yippee a never ending job replacing fibreglass blades. John
Put the pressure on the land owner to not sell access or land. So sorry for this to happen close to you. the amout of concrete under the ground for a turbine is staggering . There is also a lot of weed killer used in maintaining the access. think runoff.
There are bad sides to every aspect of the situation. I don't blame the land holders or the contractors. The situation exists because of governments. John
I got mostly positive feedback. People supporting our local communities stance. Interestingly the people who believe in the whole carbon neutral climate change agenda were totally inflexible and their stance is the only thing that matters. John
Always amazes me John - all the unused land and desert in Australia they choose to put this sort of thing on prime grazing land - you’ll never see this kind of thing pop up in a politicians back yard - the worlds gone mad mate - keep telling it like it is mate it’s all you can do - at least you’ll know that you stood up and said something - I guess were kind of lucky here in Tasmania we have clean hydro power but unfortunately we’ve got a cable running to Victoria and a couple of years ago they actually ran our dams empty generating power for Victoria and the entire state was running on diesel generators - good luck with it cobber and keep speaking your mind it’s all you can do - cheers from Tassy - Mark
Our local coal powered station (Gladstone), currently supples 2 Alumina refineries & 1 Aluminimum smelter. It is set to close in about 9 years, and i will bet money it will be bulldozed flat so it cannot ever be utilized again (as is what they do). The Qld grubberment is hell bent on "renewables"; they believe that a solar farm & wind farm will supply all the power needed to run these 3 plants! Dont even add in the local population. Just last week, our 13.26kwh system barely made 6kw/ day with all the rain & cloud we had; thats just 1 household semi- reliant on solar, let alone the entire Industries & households here in Gladstone. I am truly worried about the future for my kids in this country and sadly- it is out of me & my wifes hands
As individuals the situation is out of our hands. As a cohesive society they wouldn't stand a chance. Australians need to put aside our differences and say No to the madness. John
Great video one thing you may ask is what is their life span and how are they recycled. Yes they destroy old habitats thinking replanting fixes the destruction..this is ultimately all about money .suggest they could put 2 for your community and the rest where the power is required.
The whole thing is a bit difficult to really get your head around. Where I live I won't be able to see any towers and am not getting water from the catchment where the batteries are stored. If I had to look at them all day I might be a bit more stirred up. The locals are not happy and every day you see negative press about The issues you mentioned. I guess when its all history the facts may come out. John
Well done, well said and well documented. I’m not in your area im in the Cairns region and have to look at the several wind farms that have risen over the past few years. Believe me there is nothing green about this so called green energy. The years of pre construction traffic and destruction was incredible. Followed on by the building of the monstrous things went on and on. And don’t forget the promises that are made. Please I urge you to video document any promises because they just wash down the creek with the construction silt and rubbish. And as for the local jobs that they offer forget it the only people that have any extra income will be those with any food shops and the odd caravan park and motel. I can tell you from experience after working for one of these companies is they bring in there own experienced workers and materials in. They are bought in from big cities where they they can source cheaper materials and raise their profit margins. By the way get used to signage as on one job I was on we counted one wet day on our site 62 signs to 10 workers. Good luck and good fighting but unfortunately I have seen both sides now and I know who the winner’s always are and it’s certainly not the locals.
I never thought the locals would win. Like the bloke said change a few fringe things and it will go ahead. I heard on the grape vine that some local contractors who were asked to give a quote have been told that the company is now going to use people they have used before from SA. I don't know if thats true just hear say. I am not as effected as a lot of residents and I am pretty resigned to the outcome. Other than making video's about whats going on I am not going to put my heart and soul into fighting a lost cause. The only thing that may help is if enough time goes buy and the government changes and the next government takes a different path. Unfortunately its a wold wide madness we have created. I am lucky to have seen the best years. John
@@farminglifeaustralia6716 we were always told that it’s government mandated thing that the principal contractor has to allow the local contractors to tender for the work but in my 10 years of contracting to powerlink very rarely did I see much work go to local contractors.

@@coreydavis5552 Well maybe they allowed them to tender but obviously they didn't accept their tenders.

The cost to put the wind farms in our area is incredible we dont even have a road suitable to transport the blades or towers in. All that has to be built. They have to find enough water to make concrete. and the list goes on. John

Those propellers are huge and made from fiberglass. The don't last long because of chipping, cracking, and ultra violet damage and won't be recycled. They will litter the entire area in no time at as they get replaced.
Got the exact same issues happening in my area with a consultation at the local hall. They only want this certain area because its right next to a main transmission line. I agree with you, that they should put it out somewhere remote. It all comes back to money and screw us locals.
The developer bloke told me that they take the easiest line with the lest resistance 1 transmission lines. 2 wind. 3 not to many people to kick up a stink.
I give like b4 work at 06:00 cst American time, 4/12. Our former President always sites the dead birds under the fans/towers! Other's say, Solar and Wind power isn't reliable as compared to Gas/oil/propane. And yeah the Lithium batteries aren't proven. John the reporter!

Great job video reporting John. Not sure why CZcams algorithm put your video in front of me, sitting here in Everett Washington just north of Seattle. But I'm glad it did. I've been to Australia twice, my son lived in Nowra for 7 years. I've hiked and Biked through that same type brush. Had to watch, not to hit all them damn Marsupials in cars and Mountain Bicycles, as they come out in the evening. Pretty special place, I loved it. Enjoyed diving the great Barrier reef up towards Cairns too, what a beautiful place. Shame to watch it die as the planet continues to burn coal and drive gas and diesel vehicles. Hate to see the Developers level the trees for a wind farm. I'd ask them if there wind turbine towers are going to be tall enough to leave the trees between the towers. They do the leveling with a couple big Caterpillar Bulldozers dragging a ships Anchor chain between them. Not a good thing. I'm familiar with wind, Solar and Lithium Batteries as I have all, and we have wind farms in our state. Battery technologies have evolved beyond the fire stage and would encourage the sign holders to put those down as of today they are signs of ignorance. Wild animals and wind Turbines can cohabitate just fine, as long as the trees are left between the Turbines. You all have to ask yourselves. You need electricity and a lot more as we all switch to Electric cars. Dig, transport and burn Coal till it runs out and pollutes our Planet. Which is much dirtier then Lithium mining. If your not for Electric cars and think Lithium batteries are bad, would encourage you to leave your vehicle running when you close the garage door with you in it. Please don't as it will kill you! You are fortunate to have this green technology in your area and would encourage you to embrace it.
One lot about 8 kilometres one lot about 3 kilometres. We wont be able to see them from home. The main thing that has got the locals stirred up is the battery storage close to the main water source. John

It's good to see Australian renewable energy moving forward despite fear mongering from local nimbys. This is great for Aussie energy independence and lowering our greenhouse gas emissions.
Why is it a worry, if it's your land say no, if it's someone else's it their choice. Aren't you trying to force your opinion on other people property. Cattle farming is a massive blight on the landscape and the most in efficient land use for food production. If you want take advantage look at Agri photovoltaics, best land use for both outcomes. Maybe you want a coalplant there instead to power your homes
It isn't all that much about renewable energy-it is more about demolishing food chains under renewables pretences =WEF dictate
Nothing is what it seems anymore. And people wonder why there are so many so called conspiracy theories. John
