3 tenets

1. 100% renewable energy is

inevitable

2. Distributed energy = community

power

3. Investment shapes the future

Support

Overwhelmingly, Australians support wind energy and the construction of wind farms.

“media coverage gives significant attention to challenges, protests, vocal opponents and high profile individuals, but fails to balance this with coverage of middle ground views, or with equivalent attention to the potential benefits of wind farms.”

“An appreciation of the economic benefits associated with a strong renewable energy industry is not contingent on belief in climate change; even sceptics can appreciate the opportunity to make a buck.”

Benefits

Clean energy generated locally provides a share of the wealth it creates as well as employment in the region.

“We’ve got people who used to work

as a butcher, fitters, mechanics, a shearer, and

electricians.”

Health

We don’t need to be concerned about our health living near to wind turbines.

• Birth defects in and death of farm animals

• Cold sores• Depression • Back pain

• Fungal, viral, parasitic skin infections

• Dental infections• Diabetes

• Multiple schlerosis• Diarhoea

• Weight loss• Weight gain• Eye discharge• Foot sores• Hair loss

Visual impact

Wind turbines at work areharnessing nature’s energy.The impact of fossil fuels on

the landscape is beyond visual.

Property

There’s no correlation between the presence of a wind farm and lower property prices.

Are wind turbines noisy? Hardly.

Let’s check the facts.
