“How good is Australian Clean Coal™️ ?”

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 months ago

I know it's politically impossible unless voters pivot Green but it's all very depressing reading.

Any points raised there about no more governemnt funding for roads and airports? PT and AT projects only, no talks on restrictng flying using rationing and 10% reductions per annum? no talks on banning; private jets, cruise ships, Off road motorbikes, Banning Pleasure craft ? Gold Coast Cruise ship terminal likely to be built as another slap in the face. Gold Coast is the most vulnerable city in Aus from SLR, fuck it, just ignore it all I guess?

What a terrible thing to read, all about business and how to keep destroying the world as though the laws of nature don't apply in Australia. All some desperate attempt to kick the can down the road.

Down the road from where I live now, a government funded expansion of foresty product loader at Bell Bay, more trucks on the roads more forests logged, more destruction wrought. This is the future, until there is none.
