    Power Up: Victoria’s new wind farm licences could power the entire state. Sounds like net zero in the breeze

    "

    What it misses is that:
    1. It may be true part time some of the time and the rest of the time is someone Elses problem.
    2. The Whales, marine areas and visual impacts are much bigger than whales
    3. Wind turbines life span may be "Modern wind turbines are typically designed to last for about 20 years. However, with proper monitoring and preventative maintenance carried out two to three times per year (increasing in frequency as the turbine ages), their lifetime can potentially be extended to 25 years. Please note that the actual lifespan can vary depending on factors such as the specific model of the turbine, environmental conditions, and how well it is maintained."

    Oldest Nuclear plants are hmmmm- The can run 24 hours a day for year or three before refueling. Occupied a fraction of the land/sea use and once in place will last 80 years. Headlines that mislead or omit facts and actual costs are greenwashing.
