Massive environmental damage was planned for the Chalumbin project site. The project has been cut in half and around 40 wind generators have been proposed for a new site on nearby private property. Above is a wind generator column for a Victoria wind farm
The proposed, massive Chalumbin wind generator project at Ravenshoe in Far North Queensland has been rejected on environmental grounds.
Senator Malcolm Roberts said the rejection called the entire net-zero transition and other projects into question:
“Common sense has prevailed – You can’t save the environment by destroying thousands of hectares of forests as wind and solar projects will,” Senator Roberts said.
“30,000 hectares of remnant forest will still be cleared across 52 wind farms on the Great Dividing Range in Queensland under current proposals.”
Destructive projects like the Pioneer-Burdekin Pumped Hydro in prime platypus habitat at Eungella must be ruled out.
Projects like Smokey Creek Solar that were quietly approved against local protests because they didn’t have a talented nature photographer like Steven Nowakowski to tell their story must be revisited and put through the full environmental assessment.
“Communities throughout Queensland are facing similar, environment-destroying proposals. Minister Plibersek must subject these to the full environmental assessment where they will undoubtedly fail as Chalumbin has.
“The net-zero plan for wind and solar cannot supply our energy needs and will destroy the nature Queenslanders love the most.
“The government must stop killing the environment while claiming they’re saving it,” he concluded.
There is more wind in Canberra than most any where else so why not put wind generators atop Parliament House and whilst there some methane gas burners to assist with the bullshit.
Do you mean a nuclear bomb? Ed

OUR POLITICIANS SOLD US OUT YEARS AGO, WE DON’T OWN OUR COUNTRY, 1972 WHITLAM ILLEGALLY CHANGED OUR CONSTITUTION WITHOUT GOING TO A REFERENDOM FROM THE ‘QUEEN OF ENGLAND’ TO THE ‘QUEEN OF AUSTRALIA’, HAWKE CHANGED IT AGAIN IN 1986. EVERY POLITCIAN IS COMMITTING ‘TREASON’ TIME TO KICK THESE BASTARDS OUT & RETAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
The Parliament House “wind” farm in Canberra is far worse than anything else you’ll see. It’s destroyed the Australian political, social and economic climate; lock, stock and barrel !
It needs to be replaced with nuclear energy before it sinks Australia.
Looks like some politicians maybe “getting wind” of the bullshit, we need to know if these windmills are plugged into a battery or doing pumped hydro and exactly what they return per kWh. All the old windmills were used as pumps but these new ones so far as I can make out must be getting used for kickbacks.
If Bill Gates starts spraying aerosols around for his global dimming plan we will need coal and gas more than ever but I don’t know how the plants will grow, I think we better get used to eating mushrooms in the future.
well said Pat from vic
The article quoted Senator Roberts – “The government must stop killing the environment while claiming they’re saving it…”
Except it’s NOT “the government”, it’s the FAKE corporate “government” masqueraded by the foreign-owned COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CORPORATION.
And like it or not, folks, the foreign-owned COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CORPORATION has NO LEGAL OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER to Australia or the Australian people. They are beholden and obligated to carry out the instructions of their FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS.
And that’s PRECISELY what they’ve been doing, ARE doing and will CONTINUE to do, unless and until we stand up and AMPUTATE these sold-out baby-eating Luciferian Globalist PSYCHOPATHS from out of our country.
You CANNOT say that you “didn’t know”. So either deal with it, or get used to it and enjoy it.
