Climate Walker and South Australian resident David Clarke provides commentary over the dissonance between community support for wind farms and the absence of them in regional areas. Ultimately the anti-wind farm legislation in Victoria is representative of the government’s support for the existing fossil fuel industries.

The Victorian Coalition Government has today released its energy policy document, Victoria’s Energy Statement.

The plan has drawn criticism from renewable energy advocates at Friends of the Earth.

The government’s plan takes a “business as usual” approach that fails Victorians. The plan alludes to greater reliance on coal electricity generation, and continued allocation of public funds to find new uses for our dirty brown coal.

The Coalition government’s current inability to consider a standard of climate change policy that reflects the serious warnings from the U.N seems perpetuated by denial around the issue from within the party. This article explains the foundations of how a conspiracy theory around the issue of climate change has proliferated, and how the logic behind it can be undermined.

The addition of wind power to the mix of energy generation actually has been shown to contribute to grid resiliency. Which may come as a surprise to faithful fossil fuel heads.
