The biggest issue for wind farms right now isn't even in getting that social licence anymore, the 2 main problems are in planning pathways being massively complicated outside of NSW, and the commercial settings in getting a project profitable in the short-medium term - because of the price volititility the market for supplies (turbines, blades, high voltage wires) is jumping around a lot and there are no easy risk allocation agreements between developers and EPC contractors

On the point about it being “better” for sheep, I haven’t seen any benefit but the sheep do literally sit under the towers all day when resting so there might be something there about the relaxing noise. Also never seen a bird get hit or dead at the wind farm. Tbh I think we kill more birds when we pump tanks of chemicals on crops weekly but that’s another story 🙃

I’m a farmer in South Australia and we have part of a wind farm in the hills on our property that is literally used for grazing sheep and nothing else. It’s about $10k a tower for our farm which has basically drought proofed us and it’s literally for land we couldn’t crop in anyway, it hasn’t negatively affected us at all and I can see the whole thing out my kitchen window, it looks sick. I cannot get boomers issue with wind farms, tbh I think it’s just jealous farmers who missed out on the cash

My Nan is one of those ones that believe the wildest conspiracies, especially about renewable energy. "Why go solar since they deteriorate over time and highly damaging chemicals get into the environment", and ALWAYS uses and abuses everything to do with rooftop solar. Their world view is entirely contradictory and self-serving, there seems to be no convincing them either

You guys should get in touch with an ecologist doing clearance supervision on something like a solar farm. Ancient hollow-bearing trees clear-felled, subterranean herpetofauna munched up by excavators - every fauna encounter is like being the first responder to a car crash, sometimes involving entire families. In NSW, I know this happens regardless of the development and best practices are mostly followed, but shit can get really real.
