Come on Aidan be realistic. Indonesia has lots of coal, & they unlike us are not stupid enough to fall for expensive unreliable power, when they can generate cheep, reliable power at home.

I did spell it with a 'a', but when the spell check corrected it twice I thought, 'to hell with it'. Why should I worry about a bloke I agree with who decides to tell me that I am wrong and that Paul the Illiterate is right about the meaning of a 'throw away line'.

I don't have any friends here, so I'm going to point out what a bunch of idiots the non-Left posters are - uselessly arguing with nitwits like Paul and Foxy instead of siding - even occasionally - with people with the same or similar values.

Whatever education these non-Left posters have had, it didn't include that age-old truth that it is more productive to back your allies than it is to argue with opponents.

The Left is good at it. Look no further than Paul and Foxy: they stick together like s..t to a rug. Our side, including the so-called conservative politicians, don't want to upset anyone; and they vainly think that they can convince rusted on Lefties of the error of their ways.

It is not the Left that I blame for pouring society down the toilet; it's the Right for allowing them to do it.

Just a month after Ockernese's you-beaut, communist- style price controls, gas retailers are knocking back new customers and putting up their prices to existing customers. Supplies are in jeopardy.

Ah, the genius of Leftist economic policy. Stand by for the Socialist Soviet State of Australia.

Aiden, nevertheless that was Bowen's statement.
He obviously did not check it.
Were my calculations as simple as they are near correct ?
If they are Boofhead Bowen is STUPID !

Bazz, ttbn wants to be loved, he is crying out to be loved, please give him some love. I tried but he rejected me, now he's desperate for some good old fashioned love.

I do not think some of you understand how serious the government is on
this whole 8 year project.
It is the justification for the government to levy taxes and charges
based on the belief that we will have plenty of power by 2030 as the
co2 reductions come into force.

Aiden, I agree that major companies would be eager to take on the
various site projects. Do you really think that it can be afforded
when it has to 1000 times bigger than Boof Head Bowen tells us ?

What is the power output of the largest panels. So far as I have been
able to ascertain 300 watts seems near the highest for the latest.
I know how surprised I was to find that many turbines are in single
figure Megawatts,

As we are flat out shutting down power stations now they will have to
get a move on. There will be a long queue for modular nukes.
