But David the waste from coal and fossil fuels just go into the air we breathe, and contributes to global warming they claim at the moment.
We have the most perfect locations for the nuclear waste in the world also,
I admit i dont want the worlds nuclear waste comin here either, and i hate that arguement that 'coz it came from here it has to come back here' - does that mean all the old sump oil/ whitegoods in landfills ect. ect should go back to their country of origin? thats ridiculous! anyway they will come up with a bacteria or something equally simple that will eat/nutrealise the waste anywayz mebbe?
regarding saving water on east coast - some states and parts of states dont have your kind of rainfall to save in the first place - its these places that need delsalination - and we need more water for industry (industry and farming here in SA uses like 70% of our water and power - its not going on lawns thats the problem!) to expand - for mining ect., ie they are going to build a desalination plant at port augusta here for the expanded uranium mine - oh the irony! - otherwise they would have to use the artesian basin - which i would rather was left alone
also having lawns allows some of the water to return to the aquifier, concrete just directs it down the stormwater, but into days of the macmansion it doesnt matter anymore - there isnt enough of the block left anyway
