NEW Coal fired Power stations not only Pollute, they cost too much and are not flexible. Lots of people die Mining coal. My Grandfather was one of them. Black lung cases still occur and dust goes for Kilometres from Open Cut mines. Subsidence from old mines affects a lot of towns in Australia.. Pollution of rivers, like the MacArthur in the NT is of great concern. We NEED mining BUT clean up your game afterwards..Today the concept of BASELINE Power is used to confuse. Todey, Peak demand often relates to Airconditioner usage in the afternoon in Private residences. Not Heavy Industry. Nev

His niece. Mary Trump, is a qualified psychologist who doesn't hold back on Trumps unsuitability for the Job. She is in a position to KNOW. Nev

Perhaps we are not in "Normal" Times.. Nev

Just who is doing better with renewables than CHINA ?The BIG news here is HOW the USA has got it wrong, and Smart, Knowledgeable people there KNOW it. but Trump doesn't WANT to know it. Nev

Can we call you "Spud"?. Nev

You Missed Incredibly VAIN to the Point of it being his Main weakness. (and he HAS PLENTY). Of ALL the Possible People for the POTUS role we get the Don. Ther's something very Wrong that Produces that result TWICE. Nev

It's the United STATES of (north) America that Trump has reduced to the Dis-United State (divided unto Itself) that Now is on the brink of Civil war, under the New God -King. An Inside Job if ever there was one. Nev

Where did you read that? We have a lot of skin cancers due to sun, U/V, exposure. Over heating cooking oils of any Kind is not recommended. Nor is burning fat on meat on a flamed barbecue. Nev

It gave me a better Insight into Elon Musk that I had before. It's on Netflix. An amazing effort by all involved. I highly recommend it. Nev

OLD Coal-Fired Power stations are notoriously unreliable and obsolete.(inefficient and Polluting. NO parts available) Their Capital value has been amortised so on the books they look profitable. Usually fail when needed most . Hot days. with no warning. and not back on grid for ages. One in Qld, the co Owners are suing each other. Nev

Reliable comparison costs are available if you seek them Out.. Each country has different circumstances. Distance and sparse population is a feature of ours. The concept of a GRID has to be Justified in my view.. It's prone to failure and expensive. we have Plenty of Sun and it doesn't mean the Land can't be used for Grazing or cropping at the same time There's a lot of Buildings yet to have it installed to full capacity .Nev

Which channel you watch can have a big bearing on that. Most are a waste of time, or even Propaganda. Nev

There was this Gorgeous Film star who was going with and eskimo, But SHE broke it Off. Nev

Batteries are the quickest response to a need that there is. Pumped hydro would probably be the Next best, then a Jet aircraft engine on Gas which is horribly Inefficient. ( Jet engines can be started and opened up, without a Warmup.) Nev.

OK as long as you don't eat it raw. Nev

Signing OFF. Nev

This Place could NOT Be Wetter. Go off the drive and you will be Bogged. . Had my right eye Injected again today in Melbourne. No fun that. . Nev

Men's Shed Tomorrow. I got my old Au Fairmont aircond to work, so I will take it. I Thought the A/Cond Module was Cactus but it wasn't. Got a new alternator and Multi Vee belt tensioner and an electric window fixed. surprised I can still get the Parts. 1998 year build.. Nev

You can Pay over $120/Hr to have an apprentice cross thread your Oil drain Plug or strip the thread by overtightening it.. Nev

Quite some years Back a Toyota Corolla I think had a nut that retained a chain wheel or timing belt drop off and They said book it in Friday and we will fix it. They then found that one oil change period had gone a bit over the time but not the Mileage. No warrantee!!!. How could THAT make a Nut fall off? . They USED to be a Pretty good car. Nev

Many of them drive too fast to be able to stop quickly if something gets out of shape.. My last trip over the Nullarbour (sp) they Bar one, Behaved quite well That's a fairly civilised road. Nev

SKEW gears are a bad way to do things There's one in a Merlin that causes engine double Mag outs and is the reason most Countries won't have Merlin engines on the civil register. The Howard Vee Motor is as rough as guts. The 600 cc Jap Motor is a Much better proposition. and they also made a Vertical twin.. I sold MY very nice Howard 2 years ago. Never left out in the Open, but still couldn't get Much for it. . Some KR racing Harley 750's have coned cams as the valves are inclined to make the Combustion chamber more compact and achieve a Higher compression ratio and better gas flow. It Puts a lot of end thrust on the camshafts. From a machining Point of view it's not difficult on a Cincinnati tool and cutter grinder. The cam profile itself is harder to do. You need a Master cam Nev

American life expectancy is not that high and is getting worse. Nev

I don't think Arnotts are Australian owned any more. Its US owned, isn't it? Does anyone know WHEN?. I'd look itup but would run out of time to edit. Nev

India obviously hasn't done it's homework, in this instance. Why NOT? Nev
