My challenge to those who follow the likes of AM radio 'Shock Jocks' against renewable energy is simply this:
Go for a drive (or preferably a fly) up the Hunter Valley and have a good look at the wanton destruction of open cut coal mines. Then compare that to the aesthetics of a typical wind farm.
One thing that I find quite sad is that after allowing the coal lobby to do whatever they liked over decades, there still isn't a decent dual carriage highway from Newcastle to Muswellbrook.
And does anyone really believe that the operator of the Mt Thorley / Warkworth mine will ever rejuvenate the massive area of previously agricultural land, now turned into a moonscape?
