Ultimately, Gates and Musk stand for unlimited human and economic growth, the perfect projection of their unlimited egos.

Australia's favourite climate guru is Ross Garnaut. Ultimately, his "Net Zero Economic Superpower" book is just a colossal projection of his own ego.

Elon Musk is contributing greatly to the tearing up of the ozone layer !

Dear Noel/Christine

Australia has about 20 million cars/trucks http://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/industry/tourism-and-transport/motor-vehicle-census-australia/latest-release

So who are we, as selfish first-worlders, to deprive China + India's 2.8 Billion combined population the Energy to build 2 Billion cars/trucks?!

On Australia

1. As Australia's coal-fired power stations close we need more baseload power.

2. The 2MW from Snowy 2.0, maybe online 2025, will be totally inadequate to make up the shortfall http://www.energymatters.com.au/renewable-news/construction-on-snowy-2-0-in-full-force/

3. Large NUCLEAR U235 PW reactors like in France (forget futuristic Thorium Alan B.!) present the only non-greenhouse gas emitting baseload option. See http://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profiles/countries-a-f/france.aspx

4. Also if Australia is to ever have Nuclear Propelled SUBMARINES we Aussies need to become accustomed to nuclear.

"Wake up people!".

As the climate increasingly doesn't do what the scammers have said it would do, people are waking up to them. Gates and Musk, although not the sorts of people most of us would have any time for, are proven achievers and and providers of the things that people want and need. The climate scamners are the antithesis of all that.

Just looking at NemWatch I see over 16 GW of Australia's 26 GW electricity demand comes from burning coal, oil and gas. Snowy 2 might help out with 2 GW (some of it stored coal energy) for a few days at a time. On top of 1-2% population growth we're supposed to junk fuel cars for EVs and rip out gas appliances in favour of electric so we'll need even more power.

We flog gas and uranium overseas when we'll need it ourselves in a few years. Developed countries aspire to the Aussie lifestyle so they want what we have. None of this bodes well for voluntarily cutting back on energy use.

I suppose it is possible, but I find it hard to believe people like Gates and Musk can be stupid enough to actually believe the global warming/CO2 scam. Once this is realised it becomes they are merely using the scam to increase their wealth.

Once this is realised it becomes obvious that only a fool would ever believe anything they ever said, & we must be very careful of anything they promote.
