PLEASE MAKE A QUICK COMMENT AGAINST THIS. 🙏 The Kestrel coal extension in Central Qld canot be approved. A massive 4330ha will be cleared. Koalas, squatter pigeons and ornamental snakes are likely to inhabit this region. Comments CLOSE 8/05/24 pic by OliveiraTP

Steven Nowakowski: '(There are) 52 wind farms in Queensland right down the Great Dividing Range... We've just had an ecologist do a report and if they were all to go ahead, we're looking at around 30,000 hectares of remnant forest to be cleared.” skynews.com.au/australia-news…

Renewable energy certificates are available for big polluters to buy from windfarm proponents to offset their own pollution. Easier than fixing their own pollution. Great money for proponents and looks 'green' from the outside. But same emissions going into the atmosphere! Make

This is a brilliant article. Incredible photography from Steve Nowakowski.

And an important story about the inevitable impact of sparse, low-density, weather-dependent renewable energy collection being attempted at scale.

What a win for Rainforest Reserves Australia and everyone else involved in stopping the environmental destruction in FNQ
Well done! 💚💚💚💚💚

Yes!!! theguardian.com/australia-news…

INCREDIBLE NEWS. Ark Energy have decided to withdraw their proposal for the Wooroora Station wind farm (formerly Chalumbin) FNQ. We found out late this afternoon. We thank all the amazing conservationists and nature lovers who stood up to say NO to this proposal. We can breathe
