From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essay by Eric Worrall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026 There are no words to describe the environmental devastation that these so-called \u2018green\u2019 \u2018renewable energy\u2019 projects have already wreaked on QLD and will continue to do so \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Good Afternoon Kilkivan Action Group!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our wonderful friend from FNQ, Carolyn Emms of Rainforest Reserves Australia, has created a QLD Parliamentary e-Petition calling for a moratorium on all renewable energy projects in QLD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please take 30 seconds (seriously, that\u2019s all it takes) to click on the link and sign this very important petition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even better, could you please have all your immediate family members sign and then forward it to your extended families and friends.  Post it on Facebook, IG, X \u2013 wherever you can spread the word. There are no words to describe the environmental devastation that these so-called \u2018green\u2019 \u2018renewable energy\u2019 projects have already wreaked on QLD and will continue to do so under the current political landscape here in QLD and across the Nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.parliament.qld.gov.au\/Work-of-the-Assembly\/Petitions\/Petition-Details?id=4105<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishing everyone a wonderful Sunday evening.Warmest (or should I say coldest because it\u2019s bloody freezing in Kilkivan today!) Regards, Katy McCallum Kilkivan Action Group <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The petition is available here<\/a>. The petition is only open to residents of Queensland, Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is easy to dismiss the value of petitions \u2013 why would a powerful politician care what a bunch of anti-renewable campaigners think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this year is different. This year is an election year, and the green politicians who currently run Queensland are clinging to power by their fingernails, because of public anger over multiple policy failures. Even a few thousand votes could tip the balance in the upcoming election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this year, more than most years, every gust in the political wind will be closely watched by politicians on all sides. More than ever, this year your voice really does count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
