White turbines draw a clean line through the #Arizona #USA desert.
Dark hills sit still while the blades keep rewriting the sky.
Would you rather hear the wind or the silence?

#Queensland parliament has voted to kill its legislated #renewables targets, despite a last-minute attempt to rename it the “Propping Up #Coal and Delaying Renewables Amendment Act 2025”.

The bill also repeals a development approval for a #windfarm near #Gympie, the Forest windfarm. It replaces Labor’s targets with the #LNP’s energy policy, which would extend the operation of the state’s government-owned coal generators past their planned closure dates.

Maiwar MP #MichaelBerkman moved amendments to rename the bill, saying the government was “pouring literally billions of dollars into propping up ageing coal-fired #powerstations, keeping them on life support potentially beyond 2050”:

“The LNP is pitching their roadmap as pragmatism but I am pretty sure pouring billions more taxpayer dollars into keeping ageing #coalfiredpowerstations open for longer while delaying the #transition to renewable energy is not pragmatism, it is plain stupidity.”

During debate, assistant minister #BrysonHead [Dick to those who know him] told the parliament that he loved coal and accused #Labor and the #Greens of “propping up renewables”.

“The beauty about our plan is that the cheapest form of power will ultimately win … the beauty about a free market is that the cheapest and best value good always wins,” he said.

Berkman’s amendment was shot down and the bill passed just before 9.30pm, both on party lines.
