The issue of wind turbines and transmission lines being built in areas directly impacting landowners is a conversation that has evolved fiercely since this time last year.

Fierce advocates who are in favour of the eradication of clean energy infrastructure in regional and remote Australian areas such as 

Glenden Watts, a farmer from central Victoria, have appeared on Flow airing their various grievances with the new direction. However, the results of a recent survey done by the CSIRO indicate that at worst, most Australians are untroubled by clean energy infrastructure builds.

The findings show ’83 per cent approve of, tolerate, or are ok with or embrace renewable energy generation’ and ‘some 77 per cent would live near transmission lines’.

CEO of Farmers for Climate Action Natalie Collard appeared on the Country Viewpoint program to discuss her delight at the recent survey findings.
