YOUR SAY – LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Compensate the shire

In September 2016 I wrote to your paper regarding the minute monies donated to the Upper Lachlan Shire by some wind farm developers. I referred to the practice as ‘crumbs to the peasants’. Each turbine will give its owner an annual income of over $1.5 million, money paid in various ways by Australians, RET subsidy, and green contracts. It is costing Australians over $2 billion per annum in the greatest scam since the GFC. The multinational developer will give us back 0.15 per cent and take 99.85 per cent back to Spain, China etc.
