There is an organised opposition to #RenewableTechnology being coordinated by extreme conservative think tanks. A good example follows:
"But the details of the submissions reveal that there were no objections from anyone living within 20 kilometres of the project, located south of #Hay in the south west of the state. There were seven submissions from locals, and all of those were in support of the #Pottinger wind and battery project.
There were 12 objections from people within 100km of the project and 15 in support, and the remaining 126 submissions came from “the rest of Australia”, according to the submissions response lodged by developers #SomevaRenewables and its development partner #AGL Energy." #AGL_ax
