Still amazes me that minority opponents to this project, have such an influence on it's outcome!
For one of the three objections:
Siting on the proposed location makes more sence than any other, add to the fact that industry already exists in this zone, particularly the OIL fuelled power station ~ which I beleive kicks in when the water level in the dams is too low, or as back-up if there is a power source problem with-in the grid system.
To have the generation of power that the mill WILL provide ~ surplas to it's need, makes logical sence to tap this provision into the existing power grid, at one of it's sources!
Well done Gvt for sending a rep to the discussions on the Mill, and voicing their support for the project.
We must be an easy target! Of all the global industries using natural vegetation (de-forestation galore) for a variety of uses, we have to have objectors to a system thats the way of the future, or the way the future industries need to operate.
Long live the clean green milling machine!
