That said, I'm not up to speed on what (if any) real debate has been on this issue. Apart from the energy expense there is the damage to the ocean environment caused by slurping in water at a particular point and expelling extremely salty water somewhere else. I think they should recycle as much water as possible too. Perhaps not exactly a palatable idea for Sydneysiders, but frankly, too bad for them. Some parts of Sydney actually use recycled water, you know! Only the occasional moron pops up -- they had someone write into the Herald last week who didn't like the idea of water that had been in close contact with Nasty Stuff (presumably he thinks no animals poo and piddle in the Warragamba catchment!). He has been hung out to dry by everyone else. They want to live there (and the more that do the better IMO!)then they're going to have to cop some more compromises instead of expecting everyone else in the state to wear the same problems. Which "same problems" are you talking about? Much as I would like to, I don't think that we can share the peak hour traffic around the state, nor the derros, nor the aircraft noise, nor even Frank Sartor.
