Recommendation 17

9.66 The committee recommends that the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation consider social licence on renewable energy projects. This could include:

hiring new staff with expertise in social science, behavioural science, and community engagement, and;

ensuring their decision making and advisory bodies have social licence expertise represented.

Recommendation 18

9.67 The committee recommends that the Australian Government task the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation to provide advice on the costs and benefits of renewable energy creation, storage and transmission alongside clean manufacturing to create data needed to address local social licence concerns.

Recommendation 19

9.68 The committee recommends the National Health and Medical Research Council fund new research on the effects of wind energy on human health.

Recommendation 20

9.69 The committee recommends the Australian Government continue to strengthen communication and social licence capability across government agencies and departments. Improved information flow between jurisdictions and across departments will help address knowledge fragmentations across multiple sectors of the economy (e.g. transport, electricity, agriculture, emergency services).

Lee, I respect your commitment to your belief that humanity can not effect the natural world around us, by methods like perpetually increasing heat trapping green house gases.

Don't agree. Yet Respect Man !

An interesting fact.

Renewables make up 7 % of energy use in the Asia Pacific.
This has dropped from 9 %  in 2020.

Coal on the other hand is on a steady upward trajectory.sitting st 20 % currently.

We can commit economic suicide if we want.

We can have no industry, no fertilizer, no agriculture.

Our Asian neighbours will applaud as we drive our economy over the cliff

Not least those grinding their teeth for a chance to see the Evil Colonisers cut down....  all those pissy little groups that benefited so much from the Wharte Man's way and cannot simplyj get on without wanting revenge, and all while encouraged by our raving 'academics'.

Time to take back the farm...

⚡ Why fast chargers can strain the grid
High power demand per car: A typical DC fast charger can draw 50 kW to 350 kW—that’s like dozens of homes’ worth of electricity at once.
Clustering effect: Charging stations often have multiple units. A busy site with 10+ fast chargers can demand megawatts of power (like a small industrial facility).
Peak timing risk: If lots of people plug in during peak hours (e.g., early evening), it adds to existing demand from homes and businesses.
🚫 The “everyone charges at once” scenario
If everyone tried to fast charge simultaneously:
Local transformers and distribution lines could overload.
Utilities might need expensive upgrades (new substations, thicker cables).
You could see temporary constraints or pricing spikes.
