Hi Zipper
Pumped Hydro
The fantastic Snowy 2 is a prime example of pen pushing bureaucrats and brain dead politicians colluding to waste huge amounts of money in the face of reality
From day one a primary school student could calculate the stupidity of the so called economics involved where apart from the cost of building a massive white elephant the cost of production would always exceed the value received
Pumped Hydro is in the category of when all else fails that is your last option so in some places of the world it is an option
A country like Australia which has every power source under the sun in quantity and CHEAP it is pure madness to do such schemes
It also proves that the type of parliamentary system that we have has outlived it's usefulness as there is no stopping maniacs and crazies of all sorts who call themselves the people representatives from bankrupting a perfectly good prosperous country
