The MICDA Transport group have the above vision for Magnetic Island roads in its push for Totally Renewable Magnetic Island.
The MCN are yet to contact TCC to see if they will dig up the recently upgraded Horseshoe Bay road which was funded by State Govt to accomodate these solar coils?
Let alone the impact of tree clearing and the impact on our native wildlife.
Currently MICDA Transport group has 11 members as part of their whole island plan.
Is this vision really what the Magnetic Island community wants for this island?

Does anyone remember the drag on your pedal power pushie when you engaged the dynamo? There are forces at play. It pays to remember what the word "Power", really means. Power out = Power in + losses. Electricity is expensive to generate so you need not waste it in air gaps between the magnetics of transformers in the…
The Magnetic Island community will need to do a lot of soul searching as the push to go totally renewable ramps up. Solar, Wind , Hydrogen all of them look industrial - all of them will see the clearing of land. Not to mention the loss of wildlife habitat. Think long and hard before MICDA claim that they represent this community....
