Scientists are raising concerns about the Western Green Energy Hub, a proposed $100 billion renewable energy project in Western Australia. They warn it could destroy a unique cave system, which they consider an irreplaceable global treasure. The project plans to install 3,000 wind turbines and six million solar panels to produce hydrogen and ammonia. It will extend from the South Australian border across the Nullarbor Plain. An initial public comment period has begun, allowing the public to call for a full environmental review before the project moves forward. The comment period ends this Sunday.
