LibertyCat, you're a poo poo troll or you're a hypocrite. "I'd gladly give my land for this, this clearly justifies us resuming land against the wishes and rights of the land owners." I guess property rights only matter when it's YOUR property rights that are being defended, though.

Nuclear energy isn't viable for Australia at all. Even if we were going down the nuclear route (and yeah good luck getting the public opinion in favour of that), we're too late into it. Molten salt solar would be a far better option and would be deliverable in a much shorter time frame. For nuclear power, you're looking easily three to four decades to get the infrastructure and facilities up and running to the point where coal would be able to be shut down. Solar isn't perfect, but it's the least lovely viable option out there.

poo poo, if you're being that much of a smartarse and splitting hairs on how ethical things are, why the gently caress do you have a smartphone? Like, if you're going to get that in depth about "well we shouldn't do solar because of x" maybe you should apply to everything if you're genuine in your logic. Going solar isn't the perfect, pure ethical solution you're wanting, no. But it's still the most ethical of all current power generation technologies so that to do anything else would be unethical.

Stoca Zola posted:Okay so that was aimed at me, right. I wear hand-me-down clothes from my sister and other family members. I use the same phone until it breaks. I don't travel, I rarely drive. This isn't about me or my choices. I'm not the one advocating nationwide adoption of however many million solar panels for every single roof in the whole country - that's what the Greens have come up with, and they are the party who present themselves as standing for ethical and sustainable solutions. It isn't too much to ask whether there is any intention to make sure this really is sustainable. I would love to see a parallel Greens policy on solar panel recycling but at the moment it seems to me like they've left that as a problem for someone else in the future to figure out and that, to me, is not good enough. Ok, so you reuse clothing and don't buy new phones unnecessarily. Cool, you're doing that because, while those items aren't completely ethical in how they're produced, for you it's the most ethical option. That's cool. Here's the problem though, if solar power isn't ethical enough for you (i.e from pollution caused during manufacturing process) then what is? The way you present the fact that there's pollution, you make it seem like why bother with solar if there's some pollution from it? Why? Because it's less environmentally impacting than coal, oil, nuclear or any other viable option. Environmental impact isn't some that is either there or it isn't.

SMILLENNIALSMILLEN posted:The long wind up time for nuclear is mostly a result of regulatory issues and waste isnt an issue with breeder reactors. I dont think renewables are ever going to be able to meet the worlds power demands, at least not in the next few decades. Of the feasible options nuclear looks the least horrible imo. More people died as a result of the evacuation of fukushima than would have had they stayed. Considering LNP are the most likely party to go for a nuclear power option, it's very worrisome that their ministers can't even get a train line signal system contract right and went straight to the lowest cost option. That worked out well, Emerson. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-06/qr-says-signal-system-delayed-moreton-rail-link-cheapest-option/7481412?section=qld

Zenithe posted:I had a look last time this was mentioned and couldn't find anything to support it and have yet to hear it outside this thread. Was there some report done into nuclear viability in Australia or something? Do you think infrastructure for refining uranium and a nuclear plant just happens to spring up overnight? That poo poo literally does take over a decade to build to a satisfactory standard. There's academics I know at Griffith Uni who are pro-nuclear but concede that it's not viable for Australia and if we were going to do it, it should have been done 40 years ago. Now it's just too much time and too much cost.

We get the same amount from coal royalties as we do vehicle registration so who gives a gently caress about the coal industry and this stupid news story: http://www.tai.org.au/content/mouse-roars-coal-queensland-economy My point isn't that it's horrible that the coal industry is dying (This is a good thing), but that it's horrible that we're doing gently caress all to actually replace and diversify our economy. If you think services is going to make up for it (at least in QLD) lol ok let's see how that pans out considering that the majority of those services aren't exported, but are supported by existing economies in QLD (i.e resources). [quote="asio" post="460739288" Unless you mean brunswick st mall which lost everything when they kicked out the street kids sniffing and replaced them with lovely self-serve concept bars [/quote] This is what I meant, Brunswick St Mall is the arsehole of the arsehole of Australia.
