Have a good think about these decisions made on your behalf by your state representatives in parliament. By all means, if you truly believe renewable energy generation is going to save humanity and is the best way forward for Queensland, then continue with the existing strategy. If you see these strategies as detrimental to the prosperity of the State and detrimental to the environment, then vote for any party but major parties.

Today is a historic day for the Sunshine State. We've just passed our landmark laws to lock in: ✅ 80% renewable energy by 2035. ✅ 75% emissions reduction by 2035. ✅ 100,000 new jobs for Queenslanders. ✅ Generational economic security. The transformation of Queensland’s energy grid will create more than 100,000 new jobs in manufacturing, renewable energy generation, power transmission and the industries of the future. We’ve locked in public ownership of key energy assets and a world-first Job Security Guarantee for our energy workers. Under our plan Queensland will be a renewable energy powerhouse: producing cheap, clean, reliable power for households and businesses. We will build the renewable energy generation and transmission assets needed to power big industries in Gladstone, Mackay, Townsville, Mt Isa and more. That will create thousands of jobs for generations to come. I believe Government has an obligation to secure the economic, social, and environmental future of the state. That’s exactly what we’re doing. Mick de Brenni
There are no car parks at wind farms or solar farms because there are no long term jobs
100,000 guaranteed jobs. Can't do this in the private sector. So 100,000 additional public sector employees?
Thanks for wasting tax payers money. How about get crime housing,health care roads cost of living to name a few jobs that should be your priority. You need to stop this waste. You have destroyed the state.
Absolute madness for less than 1% CO2 contribution.

6moNeeds to be immediately repealed when the Government changes. This is a lame duck government, now taking a scorched earth to the budget and trying to set up whoever replaces them for failure. Very poor form.
