ALTRAV the existing Snowy system is as you believe. It uses natural water to generate power, then down stream the water is used for farm irrigation. It was a great scheme.

I say was, as greenie pressure has seen a lot of this water diverted to environmental flows. Quite a bit of it is uselessly poured down the old Snowy river to generate flooding flows, before running uselessly out to sea.

A further very large drop has to flow down to the artificial water sky lake at the mouth of the Murray, where millions of litres that could have irrigated farm production, evaporates uselessly every year.

It is only Turnbulls new multi billion scheme that will waste existing power capacity pumping water uphill, to keep the lights on, when his windmills are becalmed. Total stupidity rides the ranges, where once the man from Snowy river rode his horse

Hasbeen this type of irresponsible clap trap from the greens is just not acceptable. I cannot for the life of me understand who is the 'responsible person' in charge and why is he not stopping this useless line of thinking and exorbitant waste of money to continue.

We have consumer laws which protect us against con-men, snake oil salesmen and liars who sell you something which does not perform as per your request or intended as described by the seller.

I believe they are known as 'unfit for purpose' laws, and are policed by the dept. of consumer affairs. This applies to everything to do with consumers and what they purchase.

So why are we not charging these people for selling us things which do not perform in accordance with the terms of reference. And if they are performing according to the terms of reference, then we need to strangle the people who pushed the contracts in the first place. Like the greens.

I know it sounds harsh, but just as I believe in the return of the death penalty so should we gather up the greens and all their supporters and also put them all to death.

A tad drastic I hear you say, well it has become a very real case of us or them. If we allow these childish, petulant fools to continue with these outrageous and impossible endeavours, seeking long term reliable power from toys, we will commit ourselves to death.

And what's more if we don't get rid of them soon and harshly, we will deserve to die.

PC has gone way beyond the pale by allowing these fools to come this far.

Enough is enough. We must become a single voice of reason and stop this green disease from spreading any further.
