There's an interesting article by Andrew Bolt in his
column today (Monday, 13th Feb. 2017).

Google - "Andrew Bolt - "Lesser evil is not good
enough."

It's worth a read.

"The Barrier Reef is nice this time of year" Hassy the conservatives have been trying to trash the Great Barrier Reef for years with over development and mineral exploitation. Were you not a part of all that, don't tell me you have gone Green!

The more that the Libcons disparage renewable energy and the more outages we have to suffer, the more likely we are to go "off grid".
They are doing the renewable power industry a favour with their blocking of solar farms and wind turbines.
More people are putting in a batteries to provide 24/7 power and going off grid.
The "old" power supply industry will find it is a stranded asset one day and only have them selves to blame.
While there was a scarcity of wind in SA in the last blackout, the sun was blazing down providing more than enough power to run the State. The missing ingredient was storage, either by battery or with thermal power, molten salt.
Yes there will be days when there is not enough sun but a backup diesel generator only has to run for a few hours to recharge the batteries.
Mine runs on biodiesel.

What’s good for the goose

Malcolm Turnbull continues to erroneously blame South Australia’s use of renewable energy for power failures.
The man who in 2010 said that Australia needed to move to “a situation where all or almost all of our energy comes from zero or very near zero-emission sources” now describes proponents of renewables as “drunk on left ideology on energy”.
These days Malcolm Turnbull is all about addressing the impact of carbon emissions by investing public money in clean coal.
Some might cast Turnbull as an incipit sellout to the fossil fuel industry who now hates renewable energy, but that’s only half true.
It is wrong to assume that Turnbull shares his coal-stroking compatriots’ phobia of clean energy. The man who last week attempted to revive his political fortunes by calling Bill Shorten a “hypocrite” is more than happy to get a little drunk on left ideology on renewables, at least when it comes to himself.
Last year the PM upgraded the solar panels on his Point Piper harbourside mansion and adding a stack of batteries’ giving him a total of 14.5 kilowatts worth of solar panels and 14 hours of battery power. With more heatwaves and power shortages to come, this should ensure the Turnbulls remain in air-conditioned comfort.
So it turns out Turnbull is prepared to back renewables for one Australian family. And who can blame him for going off grid? It’s not like he can rely on his government to fix the problem.

Well all the fuss a bit of coal made !
Imagine if he held up a piece of uranium !
The greens and labour would all have been killed in the rush for the door !

I have held a small piece of depleted uranium in my hand. About 6cm by 4 cm.
It is amazing how heavy it is, and I do not glow in the dark !
