  1. Probably very few at this time. It is not as though solar panels are blanketing the land. I was just pointing out that there ar places where solar panels and agriculture can go together and others where they can't, simply as a result of topography.

  2. I doubt that the bill has anything to do with the cost of building a new Nuclear reactor power plant. The US has 54 Nuclear sites with 94 reactors over 28 states. The Arizona site at Palo Verde is the 2nd largest in the USA & was commissioned in 1988 so after 38 years the build cost has been well covered. The US has never dealt with the waste and after the rods have been cooled in huge underground concrete lined 40 foot deep pools for 3-5 years they are placed above ground at the same site in large concrete & steel vaults. It stays there even when the plant is decommissioned & is the responsibility of the utility company. What happens if the Utility company goes belly up is anyones guess. Given the half life of the waste is at least 10,000 years & the vaults won't even last 100 years the Yanks have a big problem looming for future generations.

  3. Comment by Dee Madigan, SMH Opinion page, Thursday 12 Nov '26. I can tell you why Qantas outsourced 850 jobs to India in two short words. Qantas has spent decades and millions of dollars telling us it's the Spirit of Australia. But on Tuesday it told 850 of its own staff that their jobs are being out sourced to Accenture and offshored to India. In the very same year it made a $1.29 billion profit. I can tell you why decisions like this get made in two short words - executive bonuses. When bonuses are tied to profits, company leaders make short-term decisions that benefit themselves. And the cost of long-term brand damage is really difficult to restore.
