    mayor Adam Belot was basing his about-face on the heavily-debunked Channel 7 News report on nickel manufacturing in Indonesia

    He may not have shares in oil or even received much of a bribe. Just rabidly ideologically driven.

    I don’t understand the useful-idiots who don’t even want renewables to succeed. I understand questioning of viability (we need to guard against green-washing) but they get angry whenever there is news of progress with renewables.

      But he probably does have shares in oil or received a bribe tho. Better to seem like an idiot than corrupt.

        Am always surprised by how little it costs to bribe Australian politicians.

      Nah, it’s just the propaganda by the oil companies working. You’ll also see people suddenly bringing up brake dust and tire microplastics in relation to electric cars (even though ICE cars have the exact same issues).

      Not saying those aren’t real problems that should be solved, but they’re usually just brought up to stop renewable projects from going ahead.
