Future electricity demand for desalination is why windmills and solar panels won't be enough. The original Snowy 1 would probably not get built today yet it diverts a huge amount of water to the inland. We need it yet we despise it. Just this week Pt Lincoln SA announced a new desal for a protected bay while another is planned a bit further up the coast. Where will the power come from? Apparently a hydrogen power station despite the fact no such thing exists on a commercial basis.

On the one hand we have the fantasy of mythical power sources against the reality of a booming population. New migrants please bring several hundred thousand litres of water with you. Everything will go up in price, not just housing but water, electricity and food. Yet every politician wants more people. Make the politicians pay for it.

It ain`t rocket science.
TOO MANY HUMANS.
