Announcing the launch of “Adopt a Renewable”’
Putting wind and solar factories in underpopulated areas is not working in part because of the billions of taxpayer dollars & inefficiencies associated with transmission lines & infrastructure requirements in remote and often pristine environments. Not only that, but farmers are complaining despite having less land to look after and fishermen despite having to search smaller areas for their catch. Even whale watchers seem blind to the benefits of knowing where whales won’t be. And let’s not mention the koalas or blue spotted stripy beagle fly.
Using Denmark as an example, renewables work well because they are located very close to the major population centres (and Denmark is conveniently close to neighbours they can buy much of their power from), and they generate a lot of power by burning wood. Plus the fishing and farming wasn’t that good there anyway. Whale watchers went broke thousands of years ago.
Therefore, because Australian country folk seem totally ungrateful, I suggest we should deny them the boundless bounties renewables offer and bring wind and solar to the cities.
Locations like off and on the beaches of Sydney and along all the coast would be perfect. North Head to Palm Beach offers many prime locations as does South Head to Cape Banks. On the harbour there is Fort Denison, Shark & Clark Islands and the Sow & Pigs Reef.
Imagine the efficiencies gained by huge solar farms adorning the perfectly east facing GDR range just west of Sydney and topped by glorious huge wind turbines. It would look like a huge tiara glistening in the sunrise. Surely a boon for west facing Vaucluse real estate prices. We could involve primary school children in the escarpment design and perhaps invite Greta to be the patron.
There are under-utilised football fields, golf courses, and national parks just screaming for wind & solar. All within convenient distance in and from the city. The mind boggles.
The convenient close to use locations will save Australian taxpayers billions of dollars in infrastructure and bring renewable power close to the people who are demanding it and will appreciate it. Screw those ungrateful country bumpkins. Let them eat cake.
Bringing renewables home will surely be a very popular & good move with urban voters and help Australia lead the worldwide charge to free renewable energy.
I am unsure whether to become a charity or religion yet so will be enlisting Twiggy, Mike, & Malcolm as consultants to ensure the best way of mining generous contributions taxpayer support.
Similarly, Port Philip Bay and Moreton Bay are screaming out for windfarms as is the Swan River and Gulf of St Vincent so am seeking intestate partners with similar views.
Let’s prove we’re not Nimby’s and embrace renewable power close to home.
