The future of the most cost effective renewable energy technology in NSW is now at risk. The capacity to cut 17 million tonnes of CO2 from the state’s greenhouse gas emissions while creating 4,000 new jobs could be lost if the $10 billion worth of wind farm developments currently proposed for NSW are driven away by guidelines proposed by the O’Farrell government.
The Greens urge you to write a submission opposing the highly restrictive provisions of the O’Farrell government’s Draft NSW Planning Guidelines: Wind Farms.
A guide to making a submission can be found here.
