Little Greta tells us so therefore it must be.In fairness [member=160]Gointocarlton[/member], those two separate issues, climate change and renewable energy, should probably not be conflated. The little girl is somewhat a pawn without realising the dollars behind "renewable$"!
Renewable energy is deviously correlated with / as green energy, but that is clearly not the case in many instances! As you know, anyone who has viewed a rare earth mine or copper mine knows otherwise! If you really, really, really wanted to save the planet, you be building nuclear plants a decade ago.
There is irony in Australia having one of the worlds largest reserves of uranium not having nuclear because "it's dirty", yet we are about to be paid handsomely for collecting the nuclear waste of other countries and storing it back here, "back where it came from" long before our dirty uranium provided those countries with many gigawatt years of cheap low carbon energy, which now allows them to point those critical fingers at Australia's coal! Some more unsavoury to think about for the weekend!
When do we start returning waste to or taxing the OPEC members for all those car emissions?
