Presentation by Ben Courtice,
Renewable Energy campaigner with Friends of the Earth Melbourne and journalist at Green Left Weekly surrounding the Liberal's attacks on wind power. followed by discussion
The Victorian liberal government has launched an attack on Wind farms with the introduction of the new arbitrary wind guidelines which Mr Richards from Pacific Hydro has said will make the planning application process to costly to for wind farms to be a viable option. The worst of the guidelines includes a 2 km no go zone around residential dwelling.
This is not the Liberals responding to the concerns of citizens, it is a clear attack on renewable energy. The same response should not be expected from the liberals regarding the gas wells associated with coal-seam gas mining.
