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.

Thank you for supporting No Coastal Wind Farms Port Stephens. These passionate people are generous with their time to lead the charge to stop the wind desert stupidity, both onshore and offshore. Unlike those pushing these hellishly expensive and inefficient environmental disasters, they receive no government funding.
Notice that none are planned for off the Gold Coast or Manly or Bondi Beaches where they could be put without major infrastructure costs. Country people are being sacrificed for major city virtue signalling NIMBYs.
Please help spread the message. It is only by making politicians afraid of losing their cushy jobs that we will stop the madness.

While loading the tables with the Senior prizes we did some more lucky draws including Lowrance electronics, Club Marine insurance discount vouchers, Bay Boat Sales service vouchers, Port Stephens Beachside Holiday Park accommodation packages, and the very popular Bluebottle Chiller Bags.
Senior 1st place winners were blessed to win top notch MAKO sunglasses. It was good to see how many winners were already wearing MAKOs. 2nd received EcoXgear 6w VHFs and 3rd Atomic rods along with Tournament travel bags, backpacks, chiller bags, towels, beanies & beanies. Many also received $100 & $200 discount vouchers from Club Marine insurance.
Reinforcing that little things can come in small packages, some lucky competitors also won free berthing at dAlbora Marinas for 2025, a days boat hire with BOAB, and shopping gift vouchers from TackleWorld Port Stephens. Were also very lucky that Matt @ Duffs Salamander Tackle made us a couple of custom 15kg rods.
