"The turbines, she says, would mark a transition of the area from a very natural, wild place into something marred by industrialisation."
The turbines are going into a pine plantation. That is already incredibly industrial. Given that good orgs like BirdLife Australia are opposed to this development I'll certainly accept that it's a bad location. But it's hard to enter this culture war territory without emboldening the anti-environmental side
See their lies amplified here: industrialisation, preventing firefighting, impossible renewable energy targets. These lies are often wrapped in green rhetoric. "green energy threatens what it is meant to save" is the headline, but really it's just meant to provide emissions-free electricity.
