ustralia’s present Federal
Government seems intent on ensuring that coming generations will not have a
climate in which they can thrive.
Wind energy, along with solar is probably the least
offensive of all energy sources presently accessed by humans.
Once the wind turbines are constructed, put up and in operation,
their environmental costs are virtually nil, unlike coal that is environmentally
costly to establish the necessary power stations and is unquestionably the most
emission-intensive energy source on earth.
Oddly, and no doubt for ideological political reasons, the
Abbott Coalition
Government has proposed a “wind commissioner” to investigate
the claimed, and imagined, evils of wind turbines.
Writing on The Conversation
a Professor in the Faculty of Business and Law at Deakin University, Samantha
Hepburn said investigation of wind power while ignoring the health costs of
fossil fuels is “Unfair”.
Read her story - “Wind commissioner? Let’s have a coal commissioner too”.
