ENERGY Minister David Llewellyn yesterday opened a new wind farm in South Australia built by Tasmanian "success story" Roaring 40s. The Cathedral Rocks Wind Farm is located 30km from Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula. Mr Llewellyn said there needed to be a Federal Government commitment to reduce fossil fuels and shift towards alternate energy sources such as wind farms. He said in recent times the Federal Government's "lack of commitment" on the issue had seen jobs lost at the Vestas nacelle factory at Wynyard and wind farm sites with important energy resources laying waste due to the lack of incentive for development.
