This was interesting. Cheap wind power has some costs!With funding for a much-needed bypass still under review, a local council says its roads need urgent upgrades. This comes as enormous wind turbine components – some measuring up to 90m – are unable to access new renewable energy zones in regional NSW.
Muswellbrook Shire Council general manager Derek Finnigan says moving oversize, over-mass vehicles along the New England Highway, which goes through the town centre, has long been an issue for council.
“This is one of the main reasons council has been actively advocating state and federal governments for a bypass of Muswellbrook for many years,” he said.
“However, moving the enormous wind turbine components to the new renewable energy zones (REZ) is not possible. They simply cannot get through the town.”
