Graph of the Day: How close is my home to that wind farm/gas thing

Today’s graph of the day was plucked from a Facebook page and is believed to have come from a CSG campaigner in Gippsland. We like it because it highlights some of the absurdities about set-back rules in the state of Victoria, and elsewhere for that matter.

New wind farms must be set back at least 2kms from the nearest household, which is kind of ironic given that coal-fired power stations can be sited within 1km, and a gas well within 100m – a hot topic right now given the proliferation of coal seam gas (CSG) projects along the eastern seaboard.
