Default Loverly rain


Its time to corporate money loving governments started listening to the
non greenish common sense elements like you and me Len...

Maybe they could drop some of those taxes...

i'm sure nth/east-q would love to send their rain your way, even here
inb the sth/east you can have what we are currently getting, and count
nthn-nsw in that as well.

Those people with matches are at it again, back burning and smoke is thicker
than our premier, who should have done this back burning months ago.


well i remember when back burning used to get down through the winter
months, they don't even do it up here. oh well that is the warm fuzzy
feeling the green promote about our habitat, and the people who
promote it live in the cities and don't see the issues. then on the
other hand it is people who make the decision to go live among the gum
trees, in wooden structured homes.

Instead he's building a power hungry desalination plant which he could have
avoided if he put some dams in areas where rain falls more often than where
the Thompson dam is.


same issue here dams built in areas that now don't get the rainfall
they used to get, but now nought can be done about it as the best
areas ahve been built out by those who live among the gum trees.

The desalination plant will be ready when every thing is burnt to a crisp...
Meanwhile the power needed to run these places will probably come from
nuclear facilities as the wind power wont be enough.
Try telling them that though.......


wind is just another of those warm fuzzy feel good things done to
appease the environmentalists. we need a balance. instead of planting
wind farms they should be rehabilitating the habitat that once stood
there.

Work, fought my way to the top then health gave out from the effort &
stress. Near Toowoomba so heat no longer an issue. Used to be in the CFA.
Can feel for the guys fighting the fires as I have been there. One fire in
the hills we all had to off the tanker so it could go uphill.
