MUMBIDA
WIND FARM
323. Hon DARREN WEST to the Leader of the House representing
Minister for Energy:
I refer to the Mumbida wind farm.
(1) Is it
still the Minister for Energy's view, as expressed in August 2009, in
relation to renewable energy that, ''Some of these
new technologies have huge potential. However, windmills are not one of them'' ?
(2) Does the
Minister for Energy's view on windmills impact on the future of the
Mumbida Wind Farm?
(3) If so, what is that impact?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1)–(3)
The Minister for Energy's view of the relative maturities of various
energy technologies has no bearing on the future of the Mumbida Wind Farm.
