Environmentalist and photographer Steven Nowakowski says Rainforest Reserves Australia has mapped 17,119 wind turbine projects which are being proposed for development across Australia.
“There’s already 4,178 turbines that are existing,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
“In Queensland alone, we have got 3,365 turbines that are proposed.”

It’s insane to destroy our bushland for intermittent renewable energy sources that will be dead in 20 years time and need to be replaced
I am a labor voter voting for nuclear power
It’s time
Idiots who never leave cities are the Labor Greens Teals useful idiots who don't have a clue and will be the first to complain when it affects them what selfish idiots
Labor has and continues to destroy my State Queensland.
Destroying the environment for solar and wind instead of keeping and nurturing the environment as carbon sinks
Look you inner city nerds do good australians want power for there coffee machines, power for there internet, and power for there phones, they should look at trump ses, Paris agreement stick it where it fits😂
Environmental destruction to save the planet from a non problem
Australia saving the world
Our co2 contribution to global emissions
.00000179. Percent 😮
Wanker……😂
Wind turbine gearboxes only last 7-10 years and have to be replaced after this time. The cost of doing this is extraordinarily high.
Bring on nuclear.
We should be building houses not wind turbines , to produce unreliable intermittent power , let's destroy the environment to save it ? more wasted time and money lefties thinking
Environmentalists and bush clearing for 17,000 wind towers just doesn’t make sense. Farmers, people living on the land ….. they are the environmentalists, not the ones sitting in their pretty offices planning total destruction.
Half of the wording is self explained mentalist is all they are mentali disturbed
Based on a great 2021 Scottish paper called "Leading edge erosion and pollution from wind turbine blades", this could result in over 1000 metric tons of microplastics annually being dispersed into our air and oceans.
Money talks on wind and solar, ethics walk. So reminds me of the seventies when they had the climate ,world starvation ,and to high a population scare then too.
Wind generation costs increase massively as capacity grows. At least in the UK, all generation is paid for, and when it is surplus to demand it must be discarded. This can cost far more then the power actually sent to the consumer.
Remember people you voted Labor in too bloody late
Also don't forget the country where you get all the material used to create and store all this renewable energy.
Should ban these ugly things! What are the Greens saying about this?
Don’t worry about the environment when there’s money to scam.🫣
Poor old rural people getting wind farms. It will ruin the environment if the rural poeople hadnt been there rooting it first. Great Barrier Reef nearly killed by sugär cane, cotton nearly destroyed the Murray Darling, ,coal mines poisoned fitzroy river, huge native vegetation clearing with bulldozers and chains, one of the worlds worst environmental disasters, loss of habitat for wildlife, murders of l arge numbers of indigenous people. Rural people have a huge hide with bs concern for the environment.
Labor and its supporters are environmental terrorists.
This is all about money under the table…corruption at it's worst!!! If you trust the Greens & Labor YOU ARE A FOOL!!!
This renewables push is a disgusting blight on our environment
Any bird that get itself through one ofd those wind-turbines will be extremely lucky. (For that moment).
Lift the ban on nuclear and ban wind and solar. There IS NO CLIMATE "EMERGENCY", IT IS A SCAM! We are still in an ICE AGE!!
So how do you the greens and funny teals off their arse. They're obviously not interested in the environment. Just stupid politicians. Is any in the media going to say it. No? Not likely.
The toxicity involved in manufacturing this worthless garbage is unbelievable and we're supposed to believe these clowns care about the environment. Climate change is probably the biggest hoax in recorded history.
Labor are responsible for more environmental damage than the logging industry
2:45 – NICE MONEY MAKER FOR SOMEONE AND A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY FOR AUSTRALIAN TAXPAYERS!
And in 15 yrs time, all of those turbines will need to be replaced. Cheapest form of energy hey !
Anyone who thinks this is OK,needs to be certified.They are mental.
Absolutely disgraceful . Hold your head in shame Albonesie and Black out Bowen , destroying our country
No!
Should have had the stupid referendum on this!
WE HATE IT. City People Must STOP Telling the REGIONS What to DO. WE ARE SICK OF IT. Put them up the BEACHES in the CITY and Leave us alone.
F…that & F….nuclear were in a cost of living nightmare.
Go back to basics.
Cost-effective black coal fired powerstations.
What we can afford, not what we can't.
STOP being dictated to by other countries & their rhetoric
The 2 biggest polluters are China & India.
Australia
Is fast becoming a 3rd world because of our government.
Labor Liberals & the Greens.
Our bottomless pit of foreign debt is growing.
Other countries in charge of our own resources selling them back to us like Japan selling our own gas back to us at a profit & they pay no tax.
Our government are idiots or corrupt your choice.
Every 15 years they have to replace them!
What a joke at the taxpayers expense
Wind and solar must double by 2030 and grow by 600% by 2050 if Australia is to reach net zero. Let that sink in.
Batteries and Hydro must grow by 700% in the next 6 years and 16 times by 2050 if Australia is to reach net zero. Let that sink in.
Bowen and Environment Minister Plibersek have allowed 1 Million Hectares of flora and fauna to be destroyed for 1/6th of requirement to reach 85% renewable target. Let that sink in.
Wind farms and solar panels – environmental vandalism at an unprecedented scale – imagine being so stupid that you think putting 260 m high wind turbines off the NSW coast is a cheap way to generate electricity – ask any boat owner about the cost of running and maintaining their boat in salt water.
in sea water they want last that long, this is demented like Bowen.
When people going wake up everything's Labour and the greens touch is a disaster like back in the 70,S the greens pushing to get rid of paper shopping bags for plastic shopping bags a other disaster where for the environment and about 3 years ago that greens spending millions of dollars campaign to get rid of plastic shopping bags bute never mention they were the ones who binge in plastic bags and you said we get 20 years out then i see brand new ones catch on fire 🔥 we be lucky if we get 7 years of life out of them
And if you want to remove a tree blocking solar panels – No way
When I hear Chris Bowen announce that Capital Hill in Canberra is to host a solar factory on the roof of parliament house, I'll consider switching.
Why are Australians so MENTALLY CHALLENGED…why self destruct ?
