Yesterday, I met with locals from around the Mary Valley in Queensland to learn about the damage and suffering their communities will face from Labor/LNP net-zero targets.
To meet these targets set by Labor and the LNP, the state and federal Labor governments are funding another costly and inefficient pumped hydro project.
The expanded water from the dam increase isn't earmarked for irrigation or drinking water. It will be used as a giant inefficient and costly water battery that uses more energy than it creates, like all pumped hydro.
To make things worse, the dam pumps will need to be connected to massive wind and solar projects that will run extensive power lines through prime agricultural farmland and forests, trampling on Queenslanders' land rights and devastating natural habitats.
This is just one example of the many insane energy projects being forced on Queenslanders by the Labor/LNP net-zero energy delusion.
Unless Queenslanders start paying attention and demand their governments stop this madness, your community, your land, and your livelihood could be the next to be destroyed.
