if you look at these 'every nation' ----------- take the biggest - China

what do we see

- China is building more renewable energy than all of the rest of the world combined
why? because China wants to clean up and to reduce emissions

- China is also building more coal fired stations
why? Because China also knows that it MUST keep the power going for people, business and government

emissions might be the driver - but it is NOT 'the priority'

anyone who thinks they can throw out power security because they have a higher priority of less emissions is crazy.

Look at what will happen TO emissions - IF there is a power deficit. What will happen?
I suggest that we'll have monster emissions to cover the stuffup

every man and his dog will have a genny out the back - and, you want emissions - oh, boy that'll do it.

It's the same as what I argue for climate change - if people believe in mmcc - well, that's fine

but, what will happen when entire areas have to be relocated away from risks of extreme weather -------

does anyone understand how much emissions are created when you relocate entire towns and cities?

The Philippines just had 4 ----- yes 4 typhoons ------------------- IN 4 weeks

imagine the amount of emissions created when the damage is repaired there -

do we think that anyone will be concerned about their priority of emissions when they need a genny to run their fridges and they need concrete to rebuild their houses and shops??

no ------- why? --------- because emissions are in fact - NOT the priority. Keeping power going and what it does ------------ is.

Think about Tassie - think about what would have happened in emissions world - if when they brought in hundreds or thousands of large diesel generators -

how much emissions that would have caused if they had had to switch them all on?

it would have been ridiculous --------- luckily - it rained 'just in time'

One has to look at what is doable - what is possible. That's why China is building coal fired power stations and huge amounts of renewables, at the same time.

Coal is a possible for Australia - the only thing making it impossible is politics.

Nuclear - isn't possible. For a multitude of reasons.

Oh pinto, you have to spoil that factual post with your last sentence.
