The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[LP]

So if Hancock wasnt into mining and owned the worlds largest wind and solar farm, her money would be good right?

Sort of, if Hancock owned the world's largest wind or solar farm they might protest against the eyesore, ......... until they became stakeholders and obtained a dividend.

I'm highly cynical because I have a mate working in green energy that was dealing with these sorts of complaints, until some of the protestors got an arts grant to decorate some of the facilities like they paint old silos around the outback, and the protests went away, well at least until the grants run out!

I wonder if that overhead is included in the feasibility studies? :o

It's not hard to see how people become cynical.

btw., Does Hancock have a stake in the big Solar PV / Battery projects happening up in the top end?

Another example, wind energy is also an eyesore and shizen for potato growing, the spuds apparently will grow all crooked or stunted by the low frequency noise (infrasound), unless of course that same wind energy gives you free power or a dividend at which time it is no longer a problem and the spuds are happy!

According to some in PETA, wind farming is harmful to animals, and the government is endorsing cruelty to animals if it fails to ban sheep and cattle grazing at the foot of wind turbines. Look at these poor bastards, we've created for them a living hell!
