the example given by @senbmckenzie is the moree solar farm, which apparently only has 5 direct employees.
that's very few, but it's a small facility… it only generates ~0.15 TWh/yr, or 33 employees/annual-TWh.

kogan creek coal power station has 111 direct employees and generates ~5.2 TWh/yr, or 21.3 employees/annual-TWh.
(older coal power stations are much less efficient. eg. yallourn in victoria has 500 employees for 8.9 TWh last year = 56 employees/TWh.)

#NewsCorp une société de #Murdoch, travaille secrètement à "jouer un rôle de leader sur la question du #ChangementClimatique", selon des documents obtenus par @VICEnews, alors même qu'elle accorde un temps d'antenne considérable aux #climatosceptiques/négationnistes du climat.

Alors que les présentateurs de @FoxNews attaquent frontalement les scientifiques qui lient les phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes au changement climatique, NewsCorp/Murdoch suit de près les dommages causés par les incendies de forêt, les ouragans et autres impacts climatiques

Imagine if this "smoking gun" had been story of day that @BreakfastNews promoted, instead of their gullible team running with #Newscorp rubbish. I cannot find any coverage on #ABC of this critical element in #sportsrorts saga. #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…
"Officials from ANAO revealed to Senate talking points written by McKenzie’s senior adviser were basis for its conclusion the grant program was skewed to target marginal seats."
