Memo to Scott Morrison : Comments
By Mark Buckley, published 13/1/2020We also note that you just had to go on holiday outside Australia. I guess that is because you couldn't find anywhere in Australia that wasn't either on fire.

I stopped to work out what would have to be done.
All energy has to be electrical from solar, wind and water.
Ruling out nuclear means making enormous numbers of panels and turbines.
The catch is how do you build them ?
You need very large amounts of cement, steel, copper, plastics for
turbine blades and wire insulation and conduit and water pipe.
You can't just build them and quit, new ones have to be built.
Then there is all the equipment that will use that power.
Farming,food processing and transport are all large generators of co2.
Then there are all the buildings we use !
I can see they could reduce to 50% with difficulty, but 100% ?
All that is before we start on agriculture.
Perhaps the vegans can eat each other, one problem solved !
