"We're building an army:" Angry anti-renewable groups take to city streets ahead of state election (reneweconomy.com.au)

The protest, organised by Across Victoria Alliance, brought around 300 CFA volunteers, farmers, One Nation and National party supporters, and a variety of renewable energy opponents into Melbourne on the sunny Friday morning.

Speakers, mainly men standing inside a large delivery truck, used Trumpian language to play up city-country divisions and went hard on militaristic calls for a war on transmission lines, renewable energy and data centres.

I'm disappointed that so many farmers and CFA who are going the be the most affected by climate change fronting this anti-renewables rally.

Okay, how do you wind up anti power transmission line? I am pretty sure these people are pro oil. How's that supposed to work?
