Re: The truth about australia`s bush fires
Well some sensible items are coming to light since the fires started. It has been found that seaweed can absorb more carbon than trees but we are neglecting it for some reason. A power company rep has stated that because of the fire and damage to power lines that they are considering installing Stand Alone Power using solar plus batteries for remote households as it will work out cheaper all round instead of re running power lines to them. My view as to the fires is that at least the areas on fire this year should be fire free for a few years to come but there are still many more areas that will be affected for the rest of this year and more to come. As for the debate on climate. Surely if we can get our heads around reducing pollution does it not result in a cleaner climate for future generations. Sure this has happened in the past but I think you will find that the times between when it happens are getting shorter each every time. There are lies being said from both camps. A bloke here in NSW has put a proposal for installing a underwater pipe line that then is directed along one of our rivers then over a gravel and pebble river bed into one of our lakes to take all the waste water from Sydney. He reckons that by it flowing over the pebbles it reduces the waste water to just water that can be then used for irrigation and factories plus power stations instead of just pumping it out to sea. Another idea that they reckon is to expensive to do at a cost or two billion. No votes in that one is there so lets put that on the back burner and concentrate on the economy. What golden opportunities are we missing out in leading the world with alternate energy and creating jobs in it for those displaced from the mines. Which by the way are depleting already by the big miners with technology taking their jobs so the only jobs that seem to be protected are our politicians jobs. We should be looking ahead and developing ways to retain water and turn this country into the food bowl of the world.
That's the way the mop flops.
