Armchair,
Which is it: "out to nowhere" or "the other side of the city"?
I could believe such detours occur in country areas, but suburban depots would be much closer spaced.
And I wasn't disputing that the recycling industry relies on subsidies.

SteeleRedux said- "Yes indeed, the rhetoric and fear mongering of the right has reached such ludicrous heights that people like CM think they can sit there and roll this like "In a sense Communist insurgency has changed from the French and Russian Revolutions" off their tongue without challenge. It is just normal hyperbole for them now. No regard for how utterly stupid such statements are."

Answer- If SteeleRedux is complaining about my musings I suppose I must be saying something right. Thanks SteeleRedux for saying I'm ludicrous and stupid- from you that is the very highest of compliment- hopefully I can continue in eternal superlative perspicacity. I'm sure Communist Hebrew SAlinsky would be proud- in a sense. I also have a bad dog name.

These are interesting...

They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and for reformation through the ballot. When we have the guns then it will be through the bullet.
Saul Alinsky

True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within.
Saul Alinsky

The very first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer.
Saul Alinsky

Organization for action will now and in the decade ahead center upon America's white middle class. That is where the power is. ... Our rebels have contemptuously rejected the values and the way of life of the middle class. They have stigmatized it as materialistic, decadent, bourgeois, degenerate, imperialistic, war-mongering, brutalized and corrupt. They are right; but we must begin from where we are if we are to build power for change, and the power and the people are in the middle class majority.
Saul Alinsky

A racially integrated community is a chronological term timed from the entrance of the first black family to the exit of the last white family.

I wonder if it is all Communist Hebrew's or Communists or just Saint Saul that are so Anti-Anglo.

Rache's comments sound very much like David Ricardo's one dimensional comments on the economy.

A seventy year lifespan for a nuclear power station Aidan? Try eighty years and longer. I was being conservative.

Most nuclear reactors get shut down because of scare campaigns to sway public opinion. Once a nuclear power plant is built it becomes far more profitable with time.

Did you know that wind and solar farms become toxic and dangerous messes to be cleaned up with taxpayer money when they fail?

Nuclear power stations close because the pollies bow to nutjobs like Caldicott, so of course the taxpayer has to pay. If the Germans kept their nuclear power stations going they could enjoy cheap low carbon energy for many decades to come. The Brits intend to use decommissioned nuclear power stations for smrs. Australia is very foolish not to develop nuclear power.

Fester,

Waste from recovered turbines and solar panels doesn't have a toxic half-life of thousands of years or highly specific disposal and storage requirements.

Probably 10 billion people on the Earth will have an impact lasting thousands of years- probably even more if they can't use nuclear power. Maybe the UN could set population density limits before boycotts.
