![]() ![]() From the safe swimming beach to the water-skiing area, there’s something for everyone. “With its five kilometres of exposed reef forming a natural harbour, Port Gregory is a sheltered aquatic playground. There is plenty to do, including: swimming, diving, and fishing. Tourist highlights are its pink lagoon, exposed reef, spring wildflower scenery, and settler history, complete with convict-era buildings and shipwrecks. ![]() Port Gregory is located 6 hours north of Perth by car. This is one of the ways we care for the well-being of our employees, customers and communities,” said GMA CEO Grant Cox. “The project is part of GMA’s commitment to sustainability where we take meaningful steps to limit our impact on the environment. GMA will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by lowering its carbon footprint by 5,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum. ![]() It is expected that the business will benefit from uninterrupted power supply and lower electricity costs. GMA is working towards running its Port Gregory operations using 100% renewable energy and has plans to electrify its vehicle fleet to further reduce emissions and operating costs. I will include a selection below in case you missed them - especially the ones that dealt so effectively with the FUD machine. Having found a solution to the FUD around wind turbines ending up in landfills, the next piece of FUD has now emerged - millions of birds are being killed by wind turbines! Wind turbines are ugly and ruin the view! I must thank our readers for the great responses, and thoughtful comments that were made after my last article on the reuse of wind turbines in remote West Australian mines. Background information on GMA and AER can be found in this article. AER is a renewable energy developer, generator, and electricity retailer in Western Australia with expertise in sourcing and supplying pre-used wind turbines from Europe. Australia-based Advanced Energy Resources (AER) is providing the infrastructure. From 2020, the Port Gregory garnet mine, in Western Australia, has been 70% powered by a hybrid power plant consisting of a 2.5 MW wind farm (composed of reused wind turbines) and a 1.1 MW solar farm with a 2 MW/0.6 MWh battery. ![]()
