What is Kate’s view on offshore wind farms?

Answer

Kate believes that offshore wind should go where it is most effective, with every proposal subject to rigorous financial, environmental, and technical feasibility assessments. Australia needs a secure, sustainable energy future, and offshore wind is bound to play an important role in our transition. Australia has amazing natural advantages that we should make the most of - offshore wind can be an effective source of renewable energy if implemented with proper planning - but needs courageous and transparent community engagement to make the case and bring people on the journey.
