Barramundi Finally in Hazelwood

[Texas]

yep until the gov charge you for the rain that falls and the sun that shines[/quote]

I had a holiday house in Walkerville in Gippsland.
We had tank water, no reticulated water available.
La Trobe Valley water hit us with charges for "water catchment renewal". (cleaning up the streams).
The excuse was "By you catching the rainwater less is going in the streams"
It was nothing like the MMBW charges, but I was charged for my rainwater.

Yes I was peed off,

If it wasn't for so called 'dirty power' you would still be living in a cave, chopping down trees and collecting dung to burn for warmth, pretty clean eh?
So what do you call 'clean power'? bird mincing windmills? chinese manufactured solar panels? renewable.....yeah right.

But it generates dirty power by using coal which is not a renewable resource and has many environmental impacts as well so I think its days are numbered regardless.

To be honest I find a few minced birds and Chinese solar panels a lot less worrying than farmland getting dug up and groundwater contaminated by coal mining and coal seam gas extraction.

Coal generated power is recognised world wide as a major pollutant remember the recent coal fire fiasco??? I know its not an easy fix but please spare me the rhetoric, I haven't paid a power bill in 3 years by going to German made solar panels. My point was that the Hazelwood Mill has been on borrowed time for years and what is going to happen to the pondage and the Barramundi should it close down.

we could try nuclear power. cleaner, heats the water and will reduce the amount of people keen to keep the barra

You'd need top notch bait presentation to fool a three eyed barra

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Night fishing would be awesome also with the Barra glowing in the dark

French Island was the place earmarked for a nuclear power plant when those debates were happening iirc. Glow in the dark mulloway perhaps.

Not that it is going to happen at this stage, it's been left behind in terms of price by other options.

I wouldnt eat it but will definitely go there for some barra action.
