Explaining something makes it better?
The thing happened and no doubt there are many accidents waiting to happen no one has yet envisaged....thats why accidents are called such...they form a catagory beyond that of negligence. However I see little comfort in knowing what went wrong when couting the cost of the accident (or any accident)
Going back to horse and cart may not be the answer but logic does not dictate that as this is the case N power is the winner by default. Perhaps a little thing like "lets get the cities road system and public transport system more efficient, limit personal vehicles to 2 ltres or smaller" could help???. The number of 4wds that never see the dirt outnumber those that do...no lets leave all that in place and sell some cake....how can one accept we have a serious problem when hippocracy touches every aspect of our energy usage, if the problem is so great why is it that immediate action is not being taken...We see how easy it is for a Government to impliment laws suitable to its idealogy that can cause initial hurt without any concern yet here nothing..there is no idealogy here except go with the flow (of money that is)...sorry they do restrain us by taking about half our fuel budget in tax ..otherwise everyone would have those huge Jeeps the US army uses...does anyone really believe that?
But I suppose given the N powered stations world wide it will be difficult to turn back the clock so as the Treasurer would observe "why not" as if the fact that other are doing it is a reasonable justification. That is not leadership and as an addmirer of Peter Costello I am disappointed is his far to casual approach to a very serious issue.
I recall discussions that the real dollar cost of N power was such that it had no future yet there seems little coming up as to that aspect now.
And of course years down the track the vendor of the U will be put upon (as is the case now) to store the waste for "ever".
AND I do like Mr Howard and respect him and his leadership..but do you think we will not end up with the storage problem... all of that is just so much talk to spice up the debate. The issue will move from there to "we can do it safely new information to hand suggests we have been too hasty and we can store it after all.."
Its going this way.. "lets have a debate and then we will do it".. not "lets have a debate to see if we will do it"....that is what really is getting to me.
AND promises to the public mean zero unless we have seen every promise broken that ever will be and in the future a Government stands by its word without waver (an impossible political situation which I recognise but for some reason promisees dont).
Now if you want to know how I really feel dont hesitate to ask
