Tasmanian tree tories doing their usual thing, but the wind farms will probably go ahead.

The idea is to refine zero-carbon renewable hydrogen, sell power to the mainland (which might require the construction of a second Bass Strait power cable) and use Tasmania’s hydro for pumped storage (buy power when cheap, use it to pump the dams full, sell it back when power is expensive).

However, the economic sustainability of all that is heavily dependent upon the continuing non-existence of cheap clean renewable power on the mainland.
