Good article about the locking up of Mount Arapiles concludes with a link to a petition to keep it publicly accessible.

This is worth sitting down with a nice cup of tea and a biscuit to read. It concerns the debate on Climate change in The UK House of Lords a couple of days ago. As you will recall we were stupid enough to be the first nation to make climate change mitigation a legal requirement.

in the link is part 1 of the debate.
There at last seems to be some debate around the practicality of net zero and this is probably due to a realisation about the high costs and the practicality of expecting a large modern economy to rely on the Whims of the gods or as these whims are known as; “Renewables”.

I had to laugh at the last few paragraphs.
Why the spin? Do the editors demand that such spin be applied to everything written?
It lost credibility at that point.

I don’t know if Robert Harris the Author is popular over in Oz?
Together with CJ Sampson (the wonderful Shardlake series about the dissolution of the monasteries in 16th Century England, Simon Scarrow, mostly books about the Roman Empire, Robert Harris is my favourite author.
Here are his top 10 rated books.

They are all great but the Book at NO 1 is really superb although I would probably rate Pompeii slightly higher.

In Australia our PM and friends are quite mad.. “Anthony Albanese lauds Australia as a future ‘renewable energy superpower’”
How does this work exactly? No one knows or cares. Somewhere between making our own solar panels and owning quantum computing technology. That Elon Musk is such a loser with his 6,246 satellites.
We will dominate the world with Chinese supplied wind and solar and endless transmission lines. Exactly how we export is not a matter for discussion because “Acting on climate change and embracing clean energy is both the most significant challenge and the biggest opportunity facing all our citizens.”
This is what our Communist Trot PM says is the smart way to deal with the 21st century. Shut down the country. And demand admiration from friends and enemies. Bask in the warm glow of moral superiority. We’ll show those Saudis how to make money! And we will import our cars, planes, food, steel, concrete, workers from overseas while maximizing the power of our huge public service machine, starting with clean energy champions Albanese and Chalmers and Bowen.
It’s new image, Idiots’R’Us. Of course President Xi lauds Albanese as an example for the whole world to follow. And Albanese thinks it is a compliment.
