the nuclear waste land issue Vs clean & green mediation ...
its a tricky concept because if everything burns to the ground then the level of pollution is going to be probably more than had they used horrific fire retardants to prevent it.
the law of averages for limited damage tends to be applied as a normalcy to qualitative thought routines.
that is often assumed as common sense by simple minded/manipulative people.
Sydney should not have a water problem... we bought a water desalinator just like we were told todo. The promise was grand and when you think of the money we have spent keeping it maintained I know there will be no problem. Unless of course that we were scammed. So I wonder how the water desalinator is going? How much to get a couple of thousand liters...well
So I wonder how the water desalinator is going?
no water no power usually.
so if the rain doesnt come there is no electricity to run the desalinator.
but they probably didnt want to commit to that reality when they wanted to tick boxes and rubber stamp their own efficiency and bonus targets.
Coal fired desalinator ? lol
probably better to have a mini nuclear reactor combined with foot ball stadium sized solar array.
but what person in their profession is going to be the person who spends their next 50 years of budget money on purchasing the land to put up the solar array to compete as a loss against the house market prices ?
designed to fail !
instances like this is where centralized government with its dictatorship powers are required to be the benevolent dictator.
though i would rate aussie close to 1st or second equal in the world when it comes to social policy for national betterment, along side Canada, until you add the refugee issue then it tends to all fall over on a human rights basis.
it is good to see the police being able to tackle arsonists.
very impressive, must be very difficult to catch them
if i was a farmer in assuie and saw someone on my land trying to start a fire...
urban neighborhoods could probably well do with setting up fire patrols of groups of 5 people patrolling together.
identifying piles of rubbish to be removed.
potential hot spots and helping people have the basic steps ready to evacuate
garden hoses fitted and ready to use.
etc etc...
but who wants to lose their wages to do a job no one is paying for when they have insurance ?
Capitalism is not always your friend
... why are rain water catchment tanks not made compulsory on all new builds ?
apartments & existing 2 bedrooms dwellings =
what are they waiting for ?
catastrophic fire risk ? combined with city and state wide massive water and electricity shortages looming ?
applied like the same vigor as superannuation
which you cant use if you burn to death or die from smoke inhalation
and if it all goes to pay for building your replacement house then you have no money to live on ... and you end up being old & poor and asking for charity to pay for food & electricity & air conditioning money ...
