I have no desire to see the country covered in turbines, solar panels & a spider's web of high voltage powerlines feeding power to people who don't have to see.

Dr Paul Dorfman Here in the UK the Royal Society have said we would need tens of thousands of gigawatt hours of grid storage to be able to subsist on wind and solar, which rules out batteries as a viable storage solution. The cost of the all necessary infrastructure would also be prohibitive.
Logical ⚽️ 🍺🦘 What I am saying is I have no respect at all for the people pushing the idea that we are all going to die and the seas will boil if we keep generating electricity and eating meat.
Hugh Riminton So to summarise, ridiculous energy policies trigger a massive increase in living cost. The government responds by immigration on steroids, granting public servants large pay rises and goes on a massive spending spree. Then they claim it saved us from a recession. Yeah - nahhh
Bill McKibben Never seen a solar field with native plants. They use roundup to kill everything. But keep clinging to fantasies in support of your donors by all means. Don’t let reality stop you.
Bill McKibben Worth having a chat to farmers & agronomists before making such a claim, there's plenty of beneficial insects incl. pollinators in corn paddocks. Just because they are self pollinating plants doesn't mean the birds, bats, bees, flies & other insects aren't present in the field...
