That's right Shadow, years ago, while those children were locked in the attic, the wise ones of the Liberal Party, your party, were sending the able bodied children off to war. You do remember the Liberal Party supporting the stupidity of the Vietnam War, where the Liberal Party had over 500 Aussie kids killed, and several wars since, don't you. Now tell us who had the brain damage people like the coward Menzies, Holt, Gorton, Mcmahon or the ones locked in the attic. History certainly tells us who should have been in that attic!

Paul,

Anything to say about Ian Cohen and what a great committed conservationist he is?

Pity that he left Parliament but I suppose that he got tired of being undermined by the Red Brigade.

Paul,

Maybe we should have stayed home for WW1 Gallipoli, WW2, and Korea too? I suppose all those dictators would have seen the error of their ways and take up flower arranging eventually.

The 90% renewable target by 2030 is a prime example of the fantasy world the greens live in. This would only work if we were prepared not to use electrical power at night and cycle to work.

Your right Shadow, the German Kaiser and the Ottoman Empire were a terrible threat to Australia in 1914. It fully justifies over 60,000 young Australians killed, and more than 150,000 wounder from a population of around 5 million, nice call that one. Conservatives made such a hash of WWI, 20 years later they had spawned fascism in Europe and Japanese imperialism, that millions more had to die in WWII. As for Korea in the 1950's it was an early example of what was to come in Vietnam. Conservative governments in Australia have excelled themselves in getting us involved in other peoples wars, and sending young Australians to die, an uncomfortable fact, but true.

Shadow as a gung-ho Conservative which one of those wars did you fight in, or were you like the coward Menzies, the founder of the Liberal Party who stayed home, whilst sending others off to die for him? That's the Liberal Party.

Paul,
It does seem to be coming quite clear that solar & wind cannot
do the job. I had thought that with storage and a well connected grid
with the sort of data transmission systems we now have it would be
possible to achieve 100% reliability.
However that dream has been denied by the cost of storage, the cost
of providing a geographically very wide system at MegaVolt levels even
in Australia is enormous and the losses not sustainable.

The crux of the matter turns out to be that the solar & wind required
in one area to support that area has to be multiplied by a yet to be
determined figure. That figure varies it appears depending on the
climate, and the number of similar areas it might have to support.

Pity, but the sooner the greens face up to brutal reality the better.
You did not reply about the metallurgic coal. If closed the power
needed to make steel with electricity will be enormous.
