Why is the government destroying black cockatoo and sugar glider habitat?
Walcha Farmer Lockie Kermode explains how the proposed New England Renewable Energy Zone transmission line will impact local species in the area.
How renewables energy zones deplete our soils
Farmer Pete Young explains how the New England Renewable Energy Zone will lead to soil depletion for some of Australia's most productive farmland.
Zoe spoke to farmer Alison McPhee about the wildlife that will be impacted by the New England REZ transmission.
"When you're talking about putting this corridor through, you're actually destroying the natural habitat of our wildlife, as well as destroying the native flora."
Farmer George Crouch talks about how the transmission corridor for the New England Renewable Energy Zone will divide his property in two. When transmission runs through a farmer's property, it's not just the 20% that the lines take up which is affected - it's 100%.
"Productivity of our farm will be abolished."
That's the threat facing farmer George Crouch because of the New England Renewable Energy Zone.
"It's devastating and Canberra don't get it"
The NSW gov has planned to build transmission lines through prime agricultural land to support the New England Renewable Energy Zone. Cattle farmer George Crouch explains the toll this is taking on his family at Waverley Station.
"I think it's a total disaster"
That's how Michael, a Chatham Valley local, described the impact to the Oberon Plateau and the Blue Mountains from The Pines Wind Farm, which is planned to have 300m-tall wind turbines built within 50 metres of the Blue Mountains National Park.
Zoe Hilton recently went on The Pulse. She talked about visiting regional communities which are being impacted by planned industrial wind farms that will disrupt agriculture and tourism, and threaten wildlife in neighbouring protected areas.

"Oberon's workforce would be gone," local farmer Owen said when we asked him about the fire risk The Pines Wind Farm would introduce to the area. Putting 300-metre wind turbines near pine plantations makes fires much harder to fight. Sign the petition: coalitionforconservation.com…

Watch Rob, an Oberon landholder, explain the hypocrisy of current environmental regulations. While farmers face criminal charges for environmental damage, wind farm developers get away with destruction on a much greater scale.

Why is the government putting corporations before communities?
Rob, an Oberon landholder, explains how it's the community, not developer TagEnergy, that will be left to clean up the mess from The Pines Wind Farm.
