Hi Joe,
From your post it is clear you're under the impression that electricity from renewables is more expensive than electricity from fossil fuels. But that's no longer the case.

Talk is cheap, which aptly applies to your reply.

Now if you can point out what parts of the article are wrong we would love to hear about it.

Being sarcastic about an article does not make it false, it just shows the commenter in this case SteeleRedux is full of hot air and has nothing constructive to add to the discussion.

Dear Philip S,

Piss off mate. I put 4 times more original words into my post than you did in your entire cut and past job.

Therefore it can not be construed in any way to have been a 'reply' to anything you had written. At best it was a pithy comment on a regurgitation.

Now if you wanted to put your opinions about the article to the forum then I would be happy to furnish a reply.

Hope we are all aware greeny,s are a bit different from true conservationists
Seems we tend to lump the good and bad together when talking about caring for the environment and life in general
Such groups as PETA do far more harm than good, making all conservation suffer in some minds

Hi Aidan,

Thank goodness ! Now we can start slowly reducing the subsidies on renewable energy projects.

Do you mean just in Australia, or everywhere else ? So you're saying that renewable energy can be generated more cheaply than coal-, gas- or nuclear-fuelled power-stations ? Wonderful ! At last !

Clearly then, there is no need to mine for coal or gas or uranium, since they involve more expensive forms of electricity generation ?

So why wait for ten years or twenty years or fifty years ? Why not close up every non-renewable energy generation source and rely totally on renewables ?

As well, why not plant vast areas of trees, crops and natural vegetation, to soak up the CO2 that is already in excess in our atmosphere ? And, in Australia, to provide lifelong employment for thousands of people, mainly up in the remote north ?

Problem/problems solved. Now we can focus on more important issues, such as self-chosen pronouns.

Thanks, Aidan.

Joe

1st When you have to resort to the first three words as above you have lost.

2nd Since when has any argument been won by the person who uses the most words?

Now if you can point out what parts of the article are wrong we would love to hear about it.
So I can only assume you have no evidence that the article is wrong in any way.

In light of your reply this still applies.

You can't answer anything above so why would I waste my time?
