It rained for a day and the river level is lower than before

Post Reply New Topic

The river levels were very low last week but then it rained, i thought the drought would be over but nooooo the river levels over the last day have gone down heaps and heaps even after the rain we had.
BTW i live on the Murray River the largest river in Australia and it is peeing me off.
I threw a couch and a cloths dryer in the river when i chucked a patty about a year ago and now everyone knows about it coz they can see it.
Its even lower than the last drought.
I just thought everyone might wanna now what the ausies have going for them.

It's a bugger, the drought, innit? What really annoys me is that all of Queensland is under tough water restrictions, yet Hinze Dam is still at about 70%.

Thats another thing, why can the big boss people pay for recycleable water or even more water tanks, and old Johny Fu**in Howard want to build a nuclear power plant, bloody hell JOHN pay the extra 100 billion dollars to go solar or hybrid man some people pee me off.

Nuclear power rocks! When the economics of solar make since the market places will
begin building solar power plants like crazy.

F*** nuclear power. What's wrong with investing extra money in solar power? And any climate change preventatives will be bad for the economy? They may be bad now, but wait until global warming actually bites. John Howard is an imbecile who only cares about self-interest. Hopefully, Kevin Rudd might at least start Australia down the environmental track...

Im not expert on nuclear power but from what ive herd it dose bad for the environment and it kills people and its awfull, thats only what ive herd.

Excuse my french but that is Fu**en Bullsh** through my opinion that is.

And Kevin Rudd better win the election or i will not be happy.

I'm votin' for him. And BTW, if they develop decent nuclear fusion, then I'm happy, but I ain't happy with fission....

Im voting for him too

When they write the history books about global warming 100 years from now they want only blame the right for not doing anything to reduce burning fossil fuel but they will also blame those on the left for rejecting nuclear power.

But I want be one they blame as I do not own a car and usally walk or ride my bike. Hell I even got a thread here on my solar oven (which is now finished waiting for clear sky and sun).

[sarcasm] I sure did see alot of enviromentalist supporting my solar oven thread.[/sarcasm]

The smoke and polution from nuclear power ect is destroying the ozone layer ect. Using solar, wind and turbines produces just as much energy they are just taking the easy way out.

Ozone depletion in in the ozone layer was theorised to be the result of certain types
chlorofluorocarbons such as freon refrigerants , propellants in aerosol cans and in the production of some plastic products. Nuclear power as for as I know has no impact on the ozone layer.

Reminds me what my chemistry professor said about why MRI's are called MRI's instead of NMRI's (nuclear magnetic resonance imaging). Because anti-nuclear protesters were protesting ever time a hospital installed a NRMI machine. Thinking the
word nuclear had to do with radioactivity or fission. When it had nothing to do with that but how the nucleus of an atom is effected by a magnetic field.

Zombie, you just made a boo-boo. Nuclear power is fine, regarding global warming, but there is a problem with what to do with the nuclear waste afterwards. How do you suggest we deal with nuclear waste, TM1? Do you have a solution to nuclear waste? I mean to dealing with it post hoc, not ante hoc.

BTW, how long does it take to cook something with a solar cooker?

It might be me just being tiard or thoughtless but that was all chiniese to me

I live in South-East Queensland and we haven't had town water for 5 years. We have 2 x 7500 gallons / 30 000 litre tanks and we've only had to order the water truck in twice.

At the moment our water tanks are 80% full despite the drought. This is because we have had to learn to conserve water. It's not that hard - people just have to stop doing wasteful things like taking a 10 minute shower!

BTW I think/hope it will be bye-bye Johnny H!
