Australian news and politics.

These issues have been well documented around the world. The claim of green is simply that, a claim. It has its own destructive footprint at a high cost and until it can confront that, lacks credibility for the average person.

You've got Indonesians importing plastic waste from Europe to burn as it's cheaper. Germany shuts down its entire old energy system to save the world. At 84 million people it's clearly going to work when the combined populations or Turkey, Vietnam and The Philippines shrug their shoulders and simply don't give a shit about somewhere else trying the lead the way.

This guy worked for major oil companies and is responsible for organising PR response for at least 5 major environmental disasters from oil companies.

Not to mention half the stuff in this piece was not even relevant and completely fabricated.

It’s actually concerning people are so stupid as to just accept this because it’s on tv.

The world has seen why oil is a major fucking problem so oil companies paying for content. Lmfao

And for the record, I am not some greenie when it comes to energy. I can see a case for nuclear energy etc.

The problem with Australia drilling for oil is that we will run out in 7 years. If we drill where Angus wants to the government will have to subsidise them for only 2 more years.

The Bight is uneconomical and the Queensland ones are uneconomical and put tourism and agriculture at risk

Yeah but have you seen the fees they get from lobbyists. Surrely that makes a case for a dying technology to the detriment of the population

Exactly right. People are well aware of the oil issues and the nuclear case has been shut down by hysterics. The green industry needs to be kept honest too. They claim they've got an affordable silver bullet try shrug their shoulders when the truth hits home.

There is no viable case for nuclear to do anything in the short term - apart from the legal ban - the long tail build does nothing to help in the foreseeable future. This is brought up every time the LNP is in opposition and ignored every time they are in power. If Howard had started it instead of banning it when in power we could have it by now. If Abbott had started it we would be a long way down the track.

First thing is the to take away the legislative impediment - then see if anyone can make it work economically.

The nuclear ships sailed now. It has to be renewables supported by fossil fuels.

Most experts I speak to, and I had lunch with an engineer who focuses on energy, say a mix of renewables and nuclear. Never coal etc though

 

[tsf]

Personally I know fuck all about the issue so will leave it to experts. Not Matt canavan and channel 7

I think you are some greenie, give us your case for nuclear. Is there another colour for green/nuclear people, maybe burnt orange
