I want to quote Professor Gell, the professor of environmental science at Federation University Australia. He said:
It’s a falsehood to claim this type of electricity production as ‘renewable’. You can’t ‘renew’ or replace the burnt carbon stored in a 100-600 year old forest in the turnaround time needed to address climate change.
I would like to ask the minister if he disagrees with Professor Gell.
