The ZMEEVIK Ballistic Missile with hypersonic combat equipment has been in development for quite a long time. It is designed to destroy large surface targets, primarily aircraft carriers.

Does anyone actually think things are going to go back to normal and peace? I don't.

The horrible Russia-Ukraine conflict will eventually shut the climate industry hyprocrisy down !
Too much funding wasted on particularly those climate preachers who are least inclined to curb their excesses !

I would not take any poll sponsored by the IPA seriously. They are a group of self-interested agenda-driven individuals with obvious funding links and have effectively been running the Liberal Party for years.

The poll was undertaken by 1000 people between 18-19 June 2022 but no indications of who was polled and how the poll was undertaken have been supplied.

Only one question (only coal equals reliability and low cost) was asked with no alternatives presented -an example of "push-polling" - and is effectively meaningless.

Hi rache,

I said straight away the statement was loaded; "to ensure families have reliable and affordable electricity all year round" you've got almost universal agreement with that last part of the statement to begin with. Obviously it was only included to create a bias. The correct statement would be simply to ask; ""Australia should build new coal-fired power stations".

What are the alternatives to coal right now ?

Indyvidual

We know that there is no real alternative, except gas, but the deluded fools don't like that either. It's not even worth mentioning nuclear to the troglodytes.

That there is no practical alternative to coal has been demonstrated in Europe. But our retarded politicians are taking no notice.

We are headed for energy chaos that will bring our economy to its knees. Nobody who could do anything to stop this is listening. The only consolation for me is that it is not my generation that will suffer; the ignoramuses who are doing the damage will have to live with the results of their stupidity.
