The destruction of renewables outweighs the so called green energy. Countless Years of remnant vegetation destroyed for this dubious short term and expensive energy.

Please take a long, hard look at this. This is not ‘green’. The impact of the industrialization of regional Queensland’s Great Dividing Range’s last wild places for ‘green’ energy is appalling. Multiple communities displaced, tens of thousands of hectares of threatened species and habitat destroyed, a terrible legacy for our children. And Eungella is set to be surrounded by these.
Sadly these things only work when the wind is blowing, when it is not, there is a need for battery storage to kick in (enter the proposed Pioneer Burdekin Pumped Hydro Battery). They are not stand-alone magic energy answers, they rely on an entire network, and these should all be environmentally assessed in their entirety, rather than as an individual project, for their appalling cumulative impact.
