Tasmania is embarking on a new era of energy production, with multi-million dollar wind farms being constructed, and plans for billions of dollars of more projects in the pipeline.Tasmania could be 95 per cent renewable energy self-sufficient by the end of the year once Cattle Hill Wind Farm is in full operation
If all proposed Tasmanian wind farm developments go ahead, the state will have more renewable energy than it needsThe boom is creating work for steel and civil engineering companies.Steel fabricators are busy welding, civil engineers are busy planning, and millions of dollars is being spent upgrading roads to allow huge wind farm parts to be transported to construction sites.
"[And another question is], is Tasmania just building these wind farms for the rest of the country to use?"Two major wind farms — Cattle Hill and Granville Harbour — are currently under construction in Tasmania, and at least another four are being planned. Goldwind Australia has three of its 48 turbines installed at its Cattle Hill site in the central highlands near Waddamana, and it wants the $300 million project completed by the end of this year.
Once operational, the farm will feed around 144 megawatts of energy to Tasmania's grid, enough to power 63,000 homes.
The definitely are like formula one. Incredibly expensive. Not useful to the average person. Unreliable. Owned by rich people selling on over inflated product to the people and work for only a few hours every week.
Killing more birds , that’s about it .
Do you know how much money it costs to run a F1 team.....
In the medium to long term there will only be one energy system that will dominate, compact aneutronic fusion reactors. They will produce power at 10% the cost of any other solution with units as small as a house producing 500 megawatts 24/7 from tiny amounts of cheap fuel.🤓⚛️
No, but hedges are definitely the 'knives and forks' of fences.

Health system in crisis in VenezuelaIn Venezuela, the health system that was once the pride of the nation has all but collapsed amid the economic and political crisis. Socialism is great. Wow, this 'report' had more drama than a Latin American telenovela & as much crap; full of lies and intentional omissions, like the US blockade (that Australia adheres to, of course) that has prevented medicine to be imported. Besides, there are plenty of doctors. Socialism........Like a big birthday party till the grog runs out.

Think London or Paris, not Blade Runner, for your Sydney of the futureThe world's smartest cities have been looking to the future for centuries. Sydney will become a better place to live as it transforms around rapid transport. London and Paris have changed quite a bit! pvivian_philip Building new high density residential towers (often replacing business parks, commercial areas or light industry) around metro stations will NOT solve the problem of existing, low density, car dependent suburbia. Sydney's Immigration Metros pvivian_philip Cities are driven by energy. Sydney is facing oil, power and gas shortages. Well-designed, walk-able, energy frugal cities would not have population greater than 140-200 K. Water is also problem. And sea level rise. Do NOT grow this city
