The “environmental costs” of green-energy projects are only just starting to be “laid bare”, says Sky News host Chris Kenny.

“And we’ve spoken to cray fishermen on the southern coast of South Australia and Victoria worried about offshore wind turbines destroying their cray fishing grounds. “We also saw the ugly destruction of Queensland forests to install wind turbines along the ranges near the central and north Queensland coast, where environmentalists are outraged.
“Yep, it turns out that cutting through forest habitat, killing koalas, wallabies and other wildlife, and installing wind turbines that routinely kill native birds, including birds of prey, well it turns out that none of this is actually good for the environment.”
