REZ Northwest Tasmania - Make your voice heard!

After a rather heated meeting between residents, landowners and the Tasmanian Government representative about the proposed Renewable Energy Zone proposed here in Northwest Tasmania, we demanded the end date for submissions to be postponed as they HADN'T ANSWERED OUR QUESTIONS! The govt website is called ReCFIT https://recfit.tas.gov.au/

 

The "Open for Consultation" section on the ReCFIT website is currently showing "Closes 11th September, 2024" under "Proposed REZ Area".

There is a video describing how to submit your opinion here: https://vimeo.com/840713724

But it is much simpler to just email them direct, here:  Email rez@recfit.tas.gov.au

PUBLIC CONSULTATION MEETING regarding renwable Energy Zone Burnie Tasmania

This Sunday, independent MP Craig Garland is convening a public meeting for residents and those interested in the current proposal for a mega wind farm for Northwest Tasmania. The wind farm is proposed for one of 5 Renewable Energy Zones, called REZ. The relevant Tasmanian Government website RECfit announced in July 2024 their intention to establish these zones throughout Tasmania, including one in Bass Strait, off the north coast of our island.   The problem? Despite the community requesting more detailed information about these proposals, in order to properly assess whether they actually  want them in the area, the Tasmanian Government, represented by minister Nick Duigan, has refused to meet with the community to discuss and answer their many valid questions.    Northwest Energy Impacts Independent MP and Braddon electorate representative Craig Garland has stepped up. On Sunday he will provide a venue for people living in and near the proposed zone. The meeting w...

More blackout events due to Wind Farm generated power supply

source  Here are some links to several recent articles. Interestingly, the usually biased, left-leaning ABC has had to report on these failures. South Australia has had catastrophic failures, which have a huge impact upon the community and vital services. With the insistence upon phasing out coal and gas (which are highly efficient immediate sources that can instantly support the grid. Called 'spinning reserve'), the renewable energy sources are proving unreliable: AEMO releases final report into SA blackout, blames wind farm settings for state-wide power failure https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-28/wind-farm-settings-to-blame-for-sa-blackout-aemo-says/8389920   Renewable energy mix played role in SA blackout, third AEMO report confirms https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-12-13/renewable-energy-mix-played-role-in-sa-blackout/8111184   AEMO says wind farm responded “as designed” in Victoria storms as conservatives pile into renewables https://reneweconomy.com.a...

All over the world Wind Farms are being DECOMMISSIONED

Wind farms. Such a nice sounding term, isn't it? Farm. Conjures up images of lush pasture, wooden fences and happy animals. But these developments are NOT farms. They are corporate projects, to make money and keep the mining industry booming. Farms, when they're done properly, work with nature, instead of destroying it. A wind turbine seems such a passive thing, doesn't it? Just standing there, spinning, letting the wind blow through it's blades. For free. But nothing is free. Something always pays the price. And this case its the environment, the planet and it's people. You could almost understand the greed behind it if they were supremely efficient machines, rewarding investment with megabucks returns, but all over the world wind farm operators are going out of business, especially when the government subsidies dry up. Take Denmark, for example.  Decouple Media have put up a very informative video: Denmark moving away from wind energy   Here is the blurb: Denmark...
