There are many ways of reducing CO2 one would be to eliminate Carbonated soft drinks. Let's see. Let's do some Maths. 25 million people in Austalia. Average one can per day per person. One can has about 7.5 grams of CO2. Thats 187.5 Tonnes of CO2, conservativly per year on soft drinks alone. I didnk calculate the extra for beer. You could prpbably double that figure on Beer alone. that's 562.5 Tonnes. Now that's something the Greenies haven't thought of as yet. No more Soft drinks for the kids & no beer for the guys. ;-)

Oh, & I just love the way that guy keeps bobing up with a big grin. Maybe he knows something we don't know.

Dear Jayb,

Firstly my previous post was in response to the wrong assertions made by spindoc. Now in response to your claims - do you realise that the
land mass of Australia is twenty four times larger than Norway. The vast interior of this country is virtual desert. As you may be aware that a large, flat, desert area is heated by the sun, has extreme temperature variations from day to night which results in high-wind conditions. This together with the sun and the vase emptiness of the land make perfect conditions for solar and wind power. In addition subterranean heat-sources can also be utilised for generating power.

As everybody knows Australia has all the perfect conditions to produce
renewable energy. I don't play computer games. I'll leave that to you
because it appears that's all you're capable of doing. What I have been saying is any body who's been to school should know. Do you want to be PM as well as Mr Abbott? After all that is his entire ambition
and you certainly seemed to have swallowed his propaganda.

Lexi, I wasn't really having a shot at you. I was just trying to point out the topigraphical differences for the type Power generation they can use & we can't.

Lexi: do you realise that the land mass of Australia is twenty four times larger than Norway. The vast interior of this country is virtual desert.

I do know what the vast interior is like. I spent a bit of time walking all over it 40 years ago. Yes the temp. variation does produce wind, but not a high wind & not constant & for about an hour in the morning & afternoon it's dead still. No PG. Not good conditions for Base load PG. Solar Farm, now that we could do, but as you should know, "NIMBY" (gee, that's appropriate for greenies, isn't it.)(still no good for BLPG) way out west is a long way from population centres & transmission losses, without BL, will be horrendous. Peak power usage is early morning & early evening, exactly when SG is non existant. So your arguement for "Perfect conditions" has serious flaws. Deep Rock Fracture PG. Yep, good idea. Very expensive to set up but I can see the value, although efficiency is only about 80%. It is BL though. Then again, would the Greenies allow that to happen. Poisoning the aquifyers, releasing toxic gas, etc, etc. Possibly even eventually destroying Earths internal engine. I think not.

Computer Games, I tried that about 20 years ago. "123 dead, 123 dead, 12... stuff this.. chuck. I have been called an Authorities worst nightmare or best friend, depending if their arguement is correct or spin. God I heat spin. I have been called a "Spock" "that argument isn't logical Captain." When I am preposed an arguement I do a Matrix of the pros & cons. I let the Matrix do the talking & that's where I go regardles of personal feelings. I just brought the wife a new car. I did the same exercise with that as to what was best for her. She has limitations. I do a Matrix everything.

Lexi,

You said <<my previous post was in response to the wrong assertions made by spindoc>>

Interesting that the news items quoted which didn't get much coverage in our media and now they are just "wrong assertions".

They are not assertions they are news items and I just passed them on. If all that is left is to shoot the messenger I guess the bottom of your barrel needs another scrape!
