g'day billy,

that is great to hear, over here and yes all types of construction in
tanlks will have some negative, but i stear clear of cement tanks as
they use all the fly ash from the power stations to make cement dust,
and tha ash can have some not nice residuals. we like to drink the
water.

Matthew 25:13 KJV
"Watch therefore, for ye know neither
the day nor the hour wherein the Son
of man cometh"

Mark 13:33 "Take ye heed, watch and pray:
for ye know not when the time is".

and also: Isaiah 38:1&17-18 KJV

1: Thus saith the Lord, set thine house in order: for thou shalt die and not
live.
17: for thou hast cast all my sins behind my back.
18: For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that
go down in the pit cannot hope for truth.

An' g'day to you Len.

The concrete wasn't just used for cisterns in France. It used to be
commonly used for fermenting wine. It would be covered over with a
proprietary material called Flint Coat, which is like a spread-on
linoleum. Pre-1970, many of the larger jug wine producers in California
did the same thing.

No food grade cement in Australia? France wouldn't have that problem,
because of their dearth of coal. Hopefully, the tailings from their
spent reactor rods won't be incorporated in their cement ;O)

Food security, and water security needs to start at home.


We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.
~Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732

Here, in the U.S., the federal government says that thirty-six states
face water shortages in the next five years.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
