RIVERINA FARMER: ‘SOLAR ENERGY IS A TOXIC NIGHTMARE’

January 20, 2022 by l

 
“Nothing matches the passion of a patriotic Aussie battler from the bush, and Lynette LaBlack is the perfect exemple.

Speaking at a public hearing of the Independent Planning Commission regarding the development approval of a solar farm project in the fertile Riverina region of New South Wales, LaBlack destroyed the myth that solar energy is a green and sustainable alternative to coal and gas.

LaBlack said she “completely objects to the renewable energy con. The New South Wales Government’s 100 percent renewable energy plan is a despicable act that prioritises solar over food. It’s a tragedy for Australia. It’s based on ignorance or, perhaps, purposeful intent, fraud and scandalous corruption.

“We’ve seen this for ourselves in Wagga Wagga. The environmental vandalism and the waste of precious soil. Mythological fantasy has replaced all reason, logic and commonsense. Matt Kean, John Barilaro and Adam Marshall certainly have no comprehension of the impact on rural Australia. They aren’t even able to answer basic questions and the Planning Department, well, their inept, ignorant mapping ability is clearly seen in the koala debacle. Extensive areas of New South Wales’ best agricultural land has been mapped as non-existent and top-class soil labelled wasteland according to Planning Department dunce David Kitto.

“Large scale companies have completely failed to consult and deal fairly with rural communities, instead barging ahead with their planned agenda, totally disregarding individuals and communities as if they don’t exist.

“Joe McGirr had originally commented that renewable energy provided or increased local jobs, it protected the biodiversity, the soil, the air quality and the water and that is all completely false. When you consider the whole lifecycle of solar, it’s actually a toxic nightmare. I cannot comprehend how this Department has completely ignored the land and water contamination risk that these PV solar panels present. I’ve got some photos there which they might be able to show of some recent hail damage which my family experienced.”
