    The air tax is waiting for Musk's Mars colony, whack a meter on your nose and charge you for breathing.

    Sorry off topic here Steve..hopefully no one you know.....A man has been charged following a fatal two-vehicle traffic crash in Kidaman Creek yesterday afternoon, April 10.
    Investigations indicate a motorbike collided with a Holden Colorado at the intersection of Hunsley Road and Obi Obi Road just before 3pm.
    The rider, a 70-year-old Palmwoods man, was declared deceased at the scene.
    The driver, a 54-year-old New South Wales man, has been charged with one count of dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death or grievous bodily harm.

    Doesn't seem to be any of my mates, there's been a few phone calls going around. Sounds like the ute driver went through the give way sign without doing that.
    Not a long sight line on Obi Obi Rd at that point.

    NGO's have one aim, they use whatever tools, methods or useful idiots are available to maximise that profit, there are some ethical companies around or at least appear to be on the surface but who really knows?

    Kill all the green little bastards!
    Yeah, it's complicated Dicko, but there's not much we can do to change that natural process. So if we want to reduce the probability of dangerous global warming, which that research paper mentions, we need to change the processes we can, the human ones.

    Crazy stuff, far more of a factory process than feed lot beef, and that's bad enough.
    I once sprung a couple of blokes screwing up Meat is Heat and Meat is Murder signs to trees outside my gate at Obi as I was riding out. They didn't want to stick around and discuss the methane emissions from paddy field rice production, which emits far more green house gasses than paddock run grass fed beef. And how well managed grazing adds organic carbon to the soil which improves its water retention. Improving Oz soil, one cow at a time. No, they knew what they knew, even if it was wrong, and just wanted to piss off.
    But probably once the factory made meat process is refined and moved into mass production they'll make a fortune.
    I'd much rather eat grass fed beef, that I'd paddock killed and field dressed. Got taught that by an old stock squad copper, that spent a lot of time in the bush up Cape York.

    Not only rice fields but I recently watched a doco on Soybeans. The amount of damage to the environment that large scale growing was huge. After a couple of years the soil is stuffed and it takes many years to repair itself.

    So , by 2050 net zero , every solar panel every windmill , every battery will be out of date and need replacing ???? Easier and cjeaper to maintain and operate  a dozen steam turbine power stations to support a reliable grid.

    Good real world example that wind and solar is not enough .
    Strange that the battery system is negative ( Flattened overnight and charging ? )
