I have my own fantasy land and plenty of trees to hug
.my own carbon credit system and fresh air supply... one worries about the world but you can only control a little part of it... I look after my bit of the planet you can still have things without going to the stone ages.. humans will come thru
I have views for and against N power but it wont last for long either.
The day will come where we have to face the fact we are going to have to get power direct from the Sun..because everything will be used up..no oil no coal no yellow cake... so in the end man will have to do what all animals have to do who hang around for a while..harvest the Sun.
I used to get fired up about this because of the vested interests twisting things on both sides but the wonderful thing is at least the problem is being addressed...
I liked Al Gore today..and I have given him some stick in the past.. jeeze you cant blame him for having a go ..and doing some folk some good...but he is getting something moving.
I dont know how the problem of China and India can be addressed ..their coal burning activity effectively means all we do counts for zip... no alternate power choice by us will change that... thats the futility in my view.
But its seems that China will have lots of solar power if any one follows the rising career of a Chinese Aussie.
He plans to sell power from panels and rival oil companies as an energy supplier..will he can he...
This sort of thing will happen and maybe we can stop all human causes..
But it will still get hotter seems to be the expert view as well... heard some scientists share that view on the radio so it must be true... they saw a need for doing everything possible even if futile...and they effectively said its a case of how we can slow it so we can prepare for the worst...
I have to say I sortta agree..even though that sounds like an about face.. but my reaction to special interests has hidden my real view I guess. Still how can we stop it even slow it..
Any ideas folks
