Hopefully it will.Does this mean Adani don’t have free access to all the ground water they want?
Adani has tried to bypass some of the construction processes with the help of the Minister for the Environment.

Haha ok I watched it and yes I agree. It's why I don't support stupid 100% renewable targets period. We'd have made so much more progress if the Greens didn't play on pyschology and instead advocated for a sensible 80% target for example. Half of the arguments about 'how will 100% renewables handle xxx'will simply not exist.It's less than a minute long!!!
Yeah as someone who has built web apps and sites for nearly 25 years I thought in the early days it would have environmental benefits but it's now so big that it has gone the other way. Did online shopping prevent enough car trips to balance the servers output or did increased consumption kill that off because stuff is cheaper and people will now fly four items from different places around the world to save 20 bucks?Funny thing about software is that it needs hardware, and hardware needs power
It definitely increased packaging!Did online shopping prevent enough car trips to balance the servers output or did increased consumption kill that off because stuff is cheaper and people will now fly four items from different places around the world to save 20 bucks?
It's stupid where we've ended up.Yeah as someone who has built web apps and sites for nearly 25 years I thought in the early days it would have environmental benefits but it's now so big that it has gone the other way.

Whenever a protest or movement uses a lie in order to further their objectives, for me they lose all benefit of doubt. If all you say has truth to it, why use such a piece of video that doesn’t show what it purports to show? Integrity is important .I hadn't seen the report but I wasn't talking about the Condamine methane bubbling which I have seen. When the farmers tell you that it has always done that then it is a bit hard to blame something recent. Still quite spectacular to see a waterhole on fire though. I was referring to the nasties that come up with the gas that have to be dealt with. And there is the issue that it can affect artesian supplies. The water returned from fracking is bad.
Strictly, in order to get there, we need every single tool we have. Throwing nuclear out because of political difficulties is just tying one hand behind your backDid you watch the video above, @Calvin27?
We have one goal & one goal only - 50% reduction in CO2 by 2030 & 100% reduction by 2050 (leaving out the terrifying sequestration requirements).
Nuclear is a tech that'll get us there.
"Political difficulties" undersells the problems a bit, don't you think? Nuclear weapons (or dirty conventional weapons) are a pretty terrifying prospect.Strictly, in order to get there, we need every single tool we have.

Nuclear weapons don’t have anything to do with nuclear power - that’s like saying steel making drives weapons manufacture."Political difficulties" undersells the problems a bit, don't you think? Nuclear weapons (or dirty conventional weapons) are a pretty terrifying prospect.
Yep. And the reason we may not have nuclear for the next few decades will be because we have lots of sun. Ultimately it will come down to a high proportion of renewables + coal/gas base loand and peaking plants or the same but with nuclear and given we get our coal basically for free, it will be coal still.Note the reason we’ve never gone down the path of nuclear has lots to do with shit tonnes of good coal that we have
already in the pipelineSooner or later we will have nuclear power in Australia - it may take 50 years, but we’ll get there - quite probably with the portable plug and play technology .
CC science disagrees with your ideasBurn the coal now, use it to make the shit we need to get out of this mess, move on!
thats all well and good, but how do we make solar panels, inverters, wind turbines etc...we need energy to make energy making things, do you see my point!..Whatever it takes to achieve a warming goal we want!
In essence, to hit 1.5 degrees, immediate rationing of energy & withdrawal of FF from the energy chain.
By choosing to do nothing we are just choosing to follow one of those pathways on that chart.
Pick your poison.
Substitute armaments for CC solutions.• In terms of armaments production capacity, the primarily problem facing the U.S. was that its large but ultimately finite supplies of labor and raw materials were deployed primarily in peacetime production. In factories across the country, Americans working on assembly lines were transforming raw materials such as oil, rubber, and steel into consumer goods such as private automobiles. But the U.S. would not be able to defeat the Nazis with a fleet of Studebakers. The badly needed ramping up of war-production would require a forced cut-back in the consumption of consumer goods and a transfer of workers from peace-time production to war industries and the military.
