But it all depends on how you listen to and how you translate it.
All the talk about electric vehicles, yet Land Rover have developed a Hydrogen vehicle with an engine that will in a very short time become the way of the future. Electric is only a stop gap.
Don't say that John, Snowy Hydro has just started a $4 billion hydro scheme, scheduled to last for two years.

Re: Wet, Wetter, and Wettest.
This was very wet
And now the bottle’s dry, and so I face an empty glass
My friends I’ll say it clear, I always drank what came to pass
I drank a lot of Gin, and may I say not in a sad way
Oh no, much more than this I got pissed my way.
With Scotch, I had a spew, but then again too few to mention
I much preferred the Gin, and drank it all without exemption
I drank the bottle dry, in many bars along the by way
But more, much more than this I got pissed my way.
But there were times I guess you knew, when I just had to have a spew
But through it all when there was doubt I drank it up and spit it out
The white phones know, diced carrots grow, I drank them my way.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Wet, Wetter, and Wettest.
#24 That’s right John a floating ice berg on melting will make absolutely no difference to the sea level. A schoolboy should know that as elementary my dear Watson or whoever he is talking to. Ice off the land however in theory will do so, but would have to be in massive proportions to the amounts the oceans hold to be of any significance. JS
