The so-called Good Earth Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Project is a deeply misguided and wasteful venture—an emblem of “fake green” posturing rather than genuine environmental or economic stewardship.
Far from being a solution, this project squanders vast quantities of precious water and funnels obscene amounts of public subsidy money into an overhyped and underperforming technology that delivers neither meaningful emissions reduction nor economic viability.
Proponents claim it’s a step toward agricultural decarbonisation, but in truth, it sets a dangerous precedent: promoting expensive, inefficient greenwashing under the guise of progress.
Electrolysis is notoriously resource-intensive—requiring massive amounts of clean water and electricity to produce minuscule returns of hydrogen, which must then be further processed into ammonia.
In drought-prone Australia, such recklessness with water is unconscionable.
This plan is built on techno-utopian lies and green PR spin, not science or sound economics.
It diverts crucial funds from more sensible strategies, such as leveraging Australia’s abundant and efficient fossil fuel resources to secure national supply chains while investing in realistic, scalable ammonia and urea production.
Worse still, this initiative risks becoming a template for further money hungry swindles - inviting a flood of similar “green” vanity projects that offer big headlines but no accountability.
If Australia is serious about energy security and agricultural resilience, it must reject these delusional Hydrogen and RenewaBULL distractions reliant on dodgy slogans, delusional fantasies and the CCP’s unethical, Toxic contaminating Industrialised Solar Junk and pursue pragmatic, results-based, far superior and secure, reliable, affordable and plentiful, 24/7 Australian Energy producing Ammonia & Urea solutions.

“Net Zero” is a false promise that causes real suffering—energy austerity, inflation, and job losses—without real climate benefit.

Hydrogen = impractical hype & a huge waste of water.
Hydrogen is dangerous, hard to store, inefficient to transport, and utterly unfit as a real fuel source for agriculture or transport.
Fossil Fuels are far superior for Australian ammonia & urea production.
