This week’s WTF Wednesday is brought to you by Emma. Over the past few years, we have fruitlessly fought for meaningful change in the rollout of the Renewable Energy Zones across Regional Australia.

1. Change that would hear the voice of local communities and involve them from the outset
2. Change that would listen to concerns and work with communities to avoid unacceptable impacts
3. Meaningful change that would slow down the rushed and irresponsible planning process and deliver a reliable and cost-effective future for Energy Generation
4. Meaningful change that would involve, respect and empower rural communities – not divide them

To see this “proposal” publicised as a promise to protect communities under siege from renewable energy developments gets a big WTF from us. Why now?

Why couldn’t the motion for a moratorium have been put to Parliament by any of the sitting National Members?
Why couldn’t it be put to the NSW Government – the Government that is overseeing the rollout?
What possible chance does this have of even getting enough support to be successful?

These are the political stunts, that leave a bad taste in everyone’s mouth, and unfairly give many people hope. Hope, when there is literally little to no chance of this being anything more than a proposal at this point in time.
