It is absolutely ridiculous that my state and federal governments continue to subsidise the coal, oil and gas industries- often far more than the renewable energy sector. It's even more absurd that the oil and gas industries have been able to leverage their lobbyists to change government policy towards wind farms, which (in NSW) are now facing new, much tougher regulation and are more difficult to get approval for than a coal-fired mine. Oil-paid lobbyists also love to pretend that there are health problems with wind farms, despite the outrageous hypocrisy. Even worse, oil propagandists claim that wind farms are ugly- as if that's a legitimate criticism.
This is pure political manipulation with the intention of gaining a competitive advantage. The idea is to hobble or crush a new industry before it can save the planet.
(Not really on topic. but very angry about this)
