Max, I am a gardener and compost carbon fuels to add to my plants, they thrive better on introduced carbon matter to their soil. I do not need to force feed them they root it out themselves. When I was growing mushrooms producing 60 tons of carbon substrate the Mushrooms loved it. Carbon is what creates the basic building blocks of life, carbon and oxygen. I consume both and love it!

Josephus, you never replied to my "CO2 is plant food" post?

Also, you know that breeder reactors eat nuclear waste, have passive safety, only leave fission products waste which is only 1 golf ball per human lifetime (or 1.4 Olympic pools of waste for Australia for 70 years!) and only has to be buried for 300 years? That normal reactors return about 60 times the energy it took to build the reactor, but breeders eliminate all that uranium mining and refining because they eat nuclear waste and get 90 times the energy out of it, so their energy profit is in the high HUNDREDS of times the energy profit? That means they have ample energy left over to manufacture all the diesel we need for harvesters and jet fuel for airlines, all from seawater. You knew all this, right?

And did you know uranium from seawater can run this for billions of years?

So what's this crap about us requiring fossil fuels? France cleaned up their energy grid in about 15 years by going nuclear. Why can't we?

Max, talk to the Greens about Nuclear fuels. I'm all for nuclear fuels!

Mr O

It is wackadoodle statements like

"We are not all responsible, it is only those like Tony Abbott, John Howard, ScuMo, etc. who are responsible."

That make the rest of us believe that you are a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

Hi Josephus,

Misopinionated probably thinks that carbon, and carbon dioxide, are poisons. Perhaps, when he finishes Primary School, if he enrols in General Science in Year 8 and waits until Year 10 to enrol in Chemistry, he may learn something. Ag Science would be a big help for him too.

And yes, nuclear power will probably be the way to go: after all, France and Finland don't seem to be having any problems with it. France sells the cheap energy generated there to Germany to help bring down the price of electricity generated by wind-farms.

Cheers,

Joe

Hi Josephus,
so if you're all for nuclear, I gather that's based on the engineering and scientific realities?

So why on earth are you buying the anti-science claims of the alt-right? Why are you falling for anti-climate memes that are so weak 5 minutes googling pops them like a bubble?
