Interesting points.

Would love to know which 2 of the 15 renewables he is talking about.

Would actually like to know the 15 renewables.

 

And the doc is speaking about something that is not in his area of expertise.

 

If power can be produced at 1/3 of the cost of coal, how come companies arent jumping on it with their own money, and not relying on govt subsidies?

That sounds like it would be a great business opportunity.

 

But then reality hits.

 

Maintenance of wind turbines is something that hasnt been covered very much.

 

Molten Salt Solar Storage has actually produced power for 24 hours.

But that would be like the first 747 to run London to Sydney non stop.

Planned down to the nth detail with favourable conditions and not running to full capacity.

 

The technology is coming along. He said 10 years but realistically 20 would be a good target.

But in the meantime what problems will they find?

[Rockoz]

Lost me on page 4 wot.

They say CST can generate 24 hours a day.

That hasnt been achieved yet. Not for more than 1 24 hour period anyway.

 

It actually lost me earlier with reference to Climate Change.

But getting used to having to filter that crap out.

 

I read an earlier report which was very similar but went into more detail in some areas.

 

After reading it I came to one conclusion.

The people who prepared it were great at cutting and pasting stuff from American research.

Unfortunately there were parts of it that had no relevance to Australia.

Some of those are absent in that report.

why cant we just have rats running around a wheel to produce power.

 

 

Someone would say cruelty to animals.

Ice addicts as a replacement for zombies?

They seem to have the energy.

Put em to a better use.

She be right...plenty left underground for a good fire to stay warm......

aaaaaarghhh,such is life.. ) just not good good being....are you gonna hold the candle,or are you gonna hold the gun...in a dinghy got no  paddle on a turning tide......aaaargggh..such is life  

and there ain't no no use in wakin when your dreamins done...quote/ unquote from copyright authors of text.

aaaaaargh..such is life

Ian......"in a  dinghy with no paddle on a turning tide "... only means one thing ,(up shits creek in a barb wire canoe) ain't no turning back from whatever the CSG companies in conjunction with with $10000 lobster meals tell us?

Yous can work out who the the "red beady eyes" are one way or the other?

aaaaaarrrgh...such is life... she be right 

CSG must be a good thing...i just admire how the electricity tax has been reduced since the introduction of this "new clean" fuel has helped the environment and reduced the "carbon emissions" since the so called abolition of the "carbon tax" and given us cheap electricity?????? absolutely bloody marvelous...we pay more now for "clean power" now than we did when dirty old stinking coal was burnt back in the days of JBP.

such is life ehh??

Surely "Dr.Carl" knows everything?...just ask him while while he is pissing against a wall slipping around in vomit scribbling sum formula on the mirror?

[Rockoz]

Could Dr Karl and Michael Caton just be putting forward personal views and perhaps increasing their popularity.

Was interesting that Dr Karl said it MAY cause damage to aquifers.

 

Another thing to look at would be the Insurance companies.

They employ experts in a given field to advise them of risks.

The companies doing the mining would of course have to have liability insurance.

 

Insurance companies hate paying out money, but love raking it in.

If they were looking at a catastrophe in the making, or even a remote chance, I doubt they would give cover.

 

It was insurance companies that led the push for Y2K compliance, even though those companies with systems at risk already knew they had troubles.

[Rockoz]

No different really Ian to most of your theories.

Most of the info you use to support your arguments is absolute rubbish.

But again that is my opinion.

As I have said many times, just because it is published on Youtube doesnt make it right.

 

And using the risk matrix with available information would make the risk at Low.

 

The likelihood is rare.

And so far no evidence to suggest consequences would be anything but minor.

 

Whereas farming with the available evidence ranks at high.

 

It has already caused a drop in available water so likelihood is almost certain.

And the consequences are so far minor.

[Rockoz]

Ian i do get your point.

The potential is there.

So is the potential of slipping in the shower and killing yourself.

Do you have non slip coating in your shower?

 

Do you stop riding a push bike or a motor bike because they are proven to be a dangerous form of transport?

 

Maybe they should pull back a bit from the GEB.

But where is its boundary? Have they found it yet?

 

Is there a real threat or is it just a guess?

 

The trouble with a lot of protest groups is that they do protest on issues of no relevance.

 

Such as.

 

Camden area NSW are trying to associate increased seismic activity with CSG.

But in the adjacent area which has been extensively longwall mined there is little seismic activity.

And it has been proven that the mining has already caused damage to the ground, the creeks and rivers and destroyed a few houses and pools.

[Rockoz]

Only one way to find out Ian.

 

As they seem to be already drilling in the basin, I would hope that those with an interest would be monitoring the situation already.

 

If they arent, then that would be poor form.
