jumpstart, I do enjoy your posts ,and this discussion, however ;
"We have plenty of gas, its not going to destroy farms, or Artesian Basins,"
jumpstart, with your personal guarantee, I'll sleep easy, lol. .....Not after seeing 'Gaslands.'
"The fact is is going to be gas, then nuclear once all us old farts move aside and give the younger generation a go who don't have the same beliefs and objections to nuclear as their living-in-denial ex-hippie grandparents now turned comfortable bourgeois."
Hang on, wasn't it Bob Hawke trying to bring logic to the nuclear debate a year or so back .....top old fart if you ask me !
I cant help but wonder if the carbon tax is to be the persuader to help the people reconsider that very idea ..... what greenhouse saving would be achieved by not burning any more brown coal, replaced by nuclear generation ?
And/or is the carbon tax to be the mining tax by another name/guise ?
