If any of these marchers were asked what they'd like Govts to do to curb Climate Change, would they be able to answer the question ?

Mr Opinion.
Your knowledge of nuclear reactors is minus zero if you think there's any comparison between the reactors at Chernobyl or Fukushima. Chernobyl was caused by xenon expansion inside a seven-inch thick reactor vessel designed to never ever expand and when this expansion exceeded 150 atmospheres of pressure, something let go. Probably one of the heat transfer pipes? Allowing the reactor water only kept liquid by the extreme press to flash instantly to Hydrogen and oxygen in a highly explosive mixture and at temperatures that meant immediate combustion was inevitable!

And the reaction continued minus the cooling liquid and so the following meltdown was inevitable!

Fukushima, on the other hand, was caused by loss of power to the pumps that circulate the cooling liquid water and given 150 atmospheres of pressure, absolutely essential to allow cooler water to replace the super superheated liquid in the reactor vessel or heat transfer pipes. The back generators that should have kicked in to provide emergency power were compromised by their inability to operate submerged in a tidal tsunami.

Had the backup generators been placed 100 metres higher, they would have been able to sill operate or if they had been equipped with a liquid oxygen alternative, would have still been able to operate even completely submerged!

The fact that you think that there's anything remotely similar to highly pressurise enriched uranium reactors and unpressurised MSR displays you fearmongering and based on total and abysmal ignorance.

To reiterate MSR is also able to burn up for thousands and thousands of years, the world's current stockpile of weapons-grade plutonium!

However in your blissful ignorance and attack dog, cyberbully mode! You'd sooner leave it in the weapons, genius!?

Hey Al

How about we set you up on a folding chair behind a card table, on the steps of Parliament House in Canberra.
I'd doubt they'd listen, but hope reigns eternal.

Dan

Al

Actually on reflection, that idea could work. There is a very successful precedent as example.
The aboriginal tent embassy operated in the park across the road from Parliament House, with the outcome of the gift of sixty percent of the landmass of the continent as reward for their effort.

Dan

Thanks for that Dan.
However, it wouldn't be successful given I'm reliably informed that OLO is read in the halls of power in Canberra, the US congress/Senate and number ten Downing street among others?

And given that is the case my (boring repetitious words won't have any more impact on minds already too infantile to actually comprehend them, let alone allow them to influence the energy decision making process or policy) words won't have any more impact on folk who are quite deliberately deaf and blind to them?

Indeed, can not get on the people's Q+A panel because the password that was good and allowed me to comment there, is now apparently no longer valid! And probably means, somebody or something doesn't want to allow my oft-repeated views to have any more air or oxygen than now? If not for OLO, I'd be left with screaming at the TV, like some demented old fool.

I know one thing though, this state of affairs cannot last and those kids now barking their displeasure are going to be tomorrow's voters and will enrol with very long memories about who did what and who tried by all and any means to suppress the only viable solution on the table!

How anyone can conflate quite massively increased LG exports with reduced carbon emission is completely beyond me! Even as we burn and clear a dozen or s football fields a day of rainforest, even as our own dries out and like the now dried up swamps, stops being the firebreaks that prevented naive burn-offs from total desertification of the Australian continent!TBC

“Al Gore has made a fortune doing this.”

Oh, I thought Gore made all his money from creating the internet.

Then created a TV station and sold it to oil barons because, as we all know, hypocrisy only applies to those evil deniers.

And then used the ill-gotten gains to buy a water-front property which will, of course, be underwater next Tuesday-week or something.
