Envirologue: Too Big to Fail – Why…, in reply to Steve Rowe,
nuclear power also needs a robust economy that enables plenty of ongoing infrastucture work –
Could be, thats why some like it. And I'm not wearing a meringue on my head.

Envirologue: Too Big to Fail – Why…, in reply to Rich Lock,
Solar power falls on us from the sky.
And the amount of land space we need to harness more than we’ll ever need is insignificant.
The short piece links to a thesis written about closing the Mediterranean Circle. It goes for thermal solar - heat that oil - and worked out the type of cables, siting, all kinds of stuff. Most people in the world are elsewhere tho' so we'd want one for each continent at least.
Make it easy for those aliens who are going to attack us HAHA :-)))
Steve pointed out this guy upthread Who pointed out a lot of big picture problems, well thought out. And he didnt offer solutions, just trying to ask the right questions. Its a good place to start. Its a thorny bush for sure

Envirologue: Too Big to Fail – Why…, in reply to Stamper Stamp,
I am not the only person
No your not the only one who falls for this kind of rhetoric.
Against bias and alarm
The coverage of climate change in the news media has been stromgly biased in favour of alarm. For far too long, scientific organisations and the mainstream media have failed to give appropriate space to authoritative critics of climate alarmism. The Forum will campaign for more objective media reportingOh so biased alarmists are winning the day? Riiigght!

Envirologue: What has Neoliberalism Done…, in reply to Kumara Republic,
social compacts aren’t at all cheap.
when those in power have no conscience, they put on the appearance of fretting about the cost of social contracts. As the cost is all that matters.

Envirologue: What has Neoliberalism Done…, in reply to Sacha,
Alister Barry’s doco about the history.
I reminded myself, a litany of double speak and corrupt ideas.
I want to know when they were infected, what books they read. Did they go on little getaways :)) -
The fourth Labour Government of David Lange and Roger Douglas lashed out, hurling decades of regulation to the floor and smashing the welfare state
Muldoon had accumulated a lot of debt before he was defeated I hear.
So I'm kinda wondering if the neo liberal ideas then doctrine at the IMF and World Bank had any and what influence on the incoming Labour govt? -
Hard News: Friday Music: Record Store…, in reply to Ian Dalziel,

So hopefully we can all extend patience, empathy, humility etc towards one another.
That go for stephen joyce (and others) as well? :-))
Hey I know many of the religious persuasion try to live good lifes. But being as such, is not a guarantee. We all screw up. And if you'll excuse a generalization. Its when we have the best of intentions we'll screw up the most.
One thing I learnt from religion, people are at their best when they have a selfless common goal to unite them. Funnily enough when war broke out is a good example
Tho' there is a part of, not all of us, people thats easily swayed sometimes, to do dumb things. And when they get together ,phew!
People will cope with adverse conditions, man made at present, as best they are able.
Yeah they'll bludge, steal, con, accumulate obscene wealth and want forgiveness from some quarter. The human condition as it is said.
You want to help, great.
Just my opinion, but sometimes the powers that be take a too dominant role in our lives to our detriment. When we should be working together to solve our collective woes. Not locked into perpetuating a (lets be dramatic) death machine. And in NZand a few other places... now is one of those moments, they're just fleeting years, lifetimes... dunno.Oh Yeah
I would never be able to satisfy your problems with the Christian faith.
Its not the Christian faith (I know you only speak for your own faith) its just that its such a common phenomenon in all cultures so maybe it isnt a god its in us.
So I have got my receiver turned off or what! -
universal truth set by God (and implanted in various ways, such as culture).
It’s not an argument that I can spend much time with beyond this as it’s not something I have delved into much (and I can see a million different ways to contradict it, each of which would require answers I’m not overly qualified to give),
See thats just frustratingly vague. Lets just all close our eyes for a minute and look to the heavens. But it seems that is what this thing called faith is, a whole lot of airy answers to questions that need clarity. Anyhoo good luck with all that.
And good luck with your projects. I see your childhood was spent amongst the "faithful" I wonder how that shaped what you are now, obviously a lot, but probably in ways you may not be fully aware of.
