Fremantle Wind Farm

Our goal is to re-power the community with locally-owned renewable energy and add another iconic landmark to an amazing city!

A simple & promising solution to a small (but real) problem with some #windfarms.

.⁦@simonahac⁩ has a very good piece in ⁦@GuardianAus⁩ - Angus Taylor's gas plan is an astoundingly bad idea, on so many levels “The men running this show have so much ambition for themselves, and yet so little for our country.” https://t.co/B4KS5Ep5SE

[Ariel Liebman @aliebman]

This is why we have a "gas shortage"

[Fremantle Wind Farm @freowindfarm]

@the_wildwood one Director here: I believe it would likely hurt the cause. Part of the beauty of our proposed project was that it would fall within an existing industrial activity centre; existing permitted noise levels; and existing visual amenity (the tall cranes).

In light of @realDonaldTrump’s recent anti #wind rant, it’s worth reviewing the true facts about human-caused bird deaths. (Spoiler: it ain’t #windmills).

And I actually believed him, when he told us at the @cleannrgcouncil conf that he supported #renewables.

Great catching up @Rottoturbine and @renew_economy ! So good being able to actually see and touch a turbine rather than having to use my (vivid) imagination like I do at @FremantlePorts !!

[Renew Economy @renew_economy]

Our editor @GilesParkinson visited the lone @Rottoturbine today. Great to finally meet in person! Not sure what Tony Abbott was so offended by.

Epic thread by Bloomberg writer David Fickling breaking down the economics of #Adani tweet-by-tweet. Well worth a read!

[David Fickling @davidfickling]

I honestly don't understand why we have had nearly ten years of pretending that the Adani Carmichael mine is viable.

Here's some really simple maths explaining why it just doesn't stand up financially:

1. Plan is for a 10m ton per year mine, rising to 20mtpa

Lovely photos from such an incredible global movement.

[Murra Warra Wind Farm @MurraWarra]

We feel the first turbine erected at the Murra Warra Wind Farm is waaaay too handsome to live life named T85.😝
So send us your suggestions for a name that will reflect the grandeur of this magnificent turbine and we will stick our fave name on it!

We think all you Freo wind farmers will enjoy this beautiful little video. It’s from a project in Victoria currently being built, with the largest turbines in Australia! 😳

Check out our snappy update of the Murra Warra Wind Farm story, complete with dramatic soundtrack to capture the excitement and scale of building this wind farm alongside the grain harvest!
