Part 5/8:
Wallace condemns the ongoing expenditure and questions how long such overbudget projects can be justified. He criticizes multiple levels of government—state and federal—for persisting with these large-scale infrastructure investments despite mounting costs and environmental concerns.
He points out the environmental damage caused by the construction of transmission lines, highlighting a perceived double standard: farmers are restricted from clearing trees for grazing, yet large energy infrastructure projects proceed with scant resistance from groups like the Greens, who are ironically absent from this debate. Wallace feels this omission underscores Green hypocrisy and neglect.
