  1. Matt Canavan is associated with COAL Interests. Battery and pump hydro etc is what we need to BALANCE changing demand. Nuclear is NOT good for that. Australia is Unique with the amount of Sun and wind and tidal etc and the sources can be spread across the Continent not lose a lot when there's one failure. AGING Coal fired Power Stations are FAILURE Prone and it usually happens when they are operating full chat. . They are also Old Tech Not worth investing in. While they work they are cheap as their cost has been amortized long ago.. The Owners ADVISED the then LNP Gov't of their closure dates. Nev
  2. You went off on a tangent about that, as you often do. Can't some things be simpler?. It's not worth the effort to clash over this $#!t. . Nev
  3. My engine is a !/4 of a 26 chev. Petrol OHV. Generator direct drive. DC (Brushed with commutator) all on a cast iron base. . Nev
  4. I can't see why these things bug you so much. Pollies have to watch every word they utter Particularly IF Rupey doesn't like you.. You quoted ME but didn't respond to it.. . It was a very specific comment. Nev
  5. Yes a pretty anti-social sort of machine. Id ban them in a lot of places on safety grounds.. Nev
  6. 32 Volt systems were used for domestic. Petrol powered. I have one that was made in Ballarat. Water cooled (thermo-syphon) Not in use of course. Nev
  7. "Running the Show?" He'd be howled down for saying HE's RUNNING the SHOW. Dictator they would claim. On my watch has been around since Pontius was a pilot. Nev
  8. Too big a gap between theory and putting it into practice doesn't work, Either.. . We saddle the Teachers with more and More responsibilities. Where does it stop? Some people these days don't wish to drive.. It's NOT fun anymore. Nev.
  9. Do Jet ski's have THEM? Nev.
  10. IF you check the "Sparky" has done it correctly, don't mention it.. As a callow youth I worked with a qualified relative rewiring old houses and Servicing Lifts. When I wired my workshop I had him check it. He said It's easy to see a professional DIDN'T do this! I said why? He said It's TOO Neat. Nev
  11. Being elected to SERVE could validate it's use. Why single out Albanese for "Special" Mention on this? He's responsible for what HE DOES WHEN in a Position to do something, (has the Helm) and NOT when he doesn't.. Fair enough? Same IF you're a CAPTAIN of anything. The BUCK stops with you. Nev
  12. Beautiful one day, Perfect the Next? THAT Damn DAM is full again. Nev
  13. Without it being per 1000 etc those figures mean little. . The NUT holding the steering wheel is the Main Problem. Driving can require ALL of your attention at times.. Nev
  14. Not if you aren't connected in the first place. 240 Volt is much more dangerous than 110. Lots of people were dying by being electrocuted till leak detecting CB's were compulsory. Now you hardly ever hear of one. ALL electrical systems should be signed off by a STATE qualified Electrician whether on the grid or not. It's easy to get fires if it deteriorates and connections (Joins) should be avoided when possible, . Most people don't have multimeters and could not safely rewire a 3 pin Plug.. Nev
  15. IF you are not careful you'll electrocute someone when there's a Blackout.. Nev
  16. I think that "Tool" was a bit of tape. . There's no room for anything extra inside a jet engine. Nev
  17. You can't fill petrol either if there's no Power. Nev
  18. They say Viagra works but I'm not game to try it. Nev
  19. Laxatives give you the $#!ts' . Dutton and Co take us all for fools. At this stage not one STATE wants it. (even Benito Chrisafulli. ). Fletcher and Birmingham have had enough. THEY were Moderates...Nev
  20. When the sun doesn't shine the wind might still blow. There's also the Possibility of Tidal. YOU KNOW they are LYING when they talk of BASELOAD. It's %{*^?@ Meaningless.. EVEN an Aluminium Smelter doesn't have a steady load. One EV can power a house for A day. We need a quick response source to avoid blackouts. Aging Coal fired Power Stations FAIL without warning and can't be MADE reliable. Australia HAS to be the MOST suited Place in the world for Wind and solar, and it's doesn't have to be concentrated in a few sites. ANYONE could set up an array. That would not allow Monopolies to charge what THEY Like.. This IS a STUNT to keep Coal for longer and Kill electric cars and stuff up a Labor initiative.
  21. No matter HOW MUCH you jiggle and Dance , the last few drops go in your Pants. Nev
  22. When travelling in Europe you have to form Q's to have P's. Nev
  23. Make sure your aim is not random. Nev
  24. I'm still trying to come to grips with organising new RANDOM thoughts. Nev
  25. IF you are Full of it, there are more ways to die. Nev
