probably my most deeply-held belief: it is not possible for a slide deck to be both (1) a good presentation aide; and (2) a standalone document that can be read and understood in isolation.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I've attended many motor vehicle accidents. Last NOV we got paged to a car which had hit a tree at high speed. Completely on fire, incl the battery pack & internal combustion engine.
There is a lot of anti renewables hype out there. Most of it is fear mongering crap. We know how to deal with this.

People who oppose renewables love to talk up the perceived fire risks of wind turbines, batteries & electric/ hybrid vehicles.

The fact is that the risk of fire is actually very low & can be managed by responders.

Dan Tehan, the Shadow Energy and Emissions Reduction minister, has two views on why the opposition's nuclear energy policy wasn't popular with voters at the last election.
• LISTEN: https://ab.co/3WiVFdL
"The first is that we fell foul to a pretty dishonest scare campaign by the Labor Party. They put a figure on the costings of our nuclear program which wasn't a true reflection of those costings," he told ABC Radio National Breakfast.
Mr Tehan said while some attitudes towards nuclear power had changed, there were some that had an
"outdated mindset".
"Now, there is some in the older generation that grew up with The Simpsons who still have those sort of outdated mindset, but most young Australians are very much open to it," he added.

The windfarm management tracks are a firefighters dream! Easy access over rough ground, excellent dead edges.

Aircraft wise, as the article states, no different to work around than the many other hazards in the wire environment.

Compared with what a fire at a fossil fuel facility looks like, the opposition to renewables because of claimed fire risk sometimes verges on the hysterical. In reality, a fire in a turbine nacelle is generally a rare & isolated event.

Renewables and fire risk – what are the facts?

Why renewables? Australia and other high-emission nations must take drastic action to stop climate change impacts becoming irreversible. As was noted recently by Professor Mark Howden, Director of …
