Coastal wind farms: This Sunday, the people say ‘no’ again

Michael de Percy

Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/Bulletin › Featured article

Abstract

When the first coastal wind farms were announced by Energy Minister Chris Bowen, I thought I was dreaming. Australia has some of the best beaches in the world. People come to this country to see its unspoilt natural beauty. Despite a 42 per cent decline following the lockdowns, tourism remains Australia’s 14th-largest export industry. Along with education, it is one of the most sustainable industries that contributes to our standard of living. Nobody wants to come to Australia to see rotting wind turbines at our beaches.
