At a request from several listeners, and out of an abundance of interest in the subject, it's time to talk about renewable energy. Alex Nichol joins me for the conversation today.
We did discuss this topic in episode #3, with Emily from Colbinabbin in Victoria, regarding the proposed solar plant lined up to go in on their prime agricultural region.
Today, we talk about the plans and proposals here in WA, and what we can learn from people's lived experience over East, and around the world.
It's impossible to summarise such a big topic, but the thing I find most interesting, and it's not discussed in this episode, is the socially accepted parameters; the pre-conceived notion that you are either for, or against, renewables. You are either for, or against, coal. You either believe, or deny, climate change.
When we talk about for/against and believe/deny in this way, we are now talking more about ideology, not science, or facts.
It is possible to simply ignore truth, in the form of people's lived experiences, but that doesn't make it, or us, right in doing so.
