Burning dead things for power is outdated, shortsighted and has no sustainable future.

It's a no-brainer (in NZ at least).
Drown the snails that are too slow to migrate (and the misguided greenies hugging them) and build more hydro.

Build a crapload of plug in cars and we're all set to give two fingers to the oil co's and march on into a future that still provides free air and water.

But then you need more power stations

Can you list the major earthquakes it has cased ?

Or any minor ones for that matter.

1314836 2012-11-27 06:27:00 Can you categorically state, and back it up with an indemnity,
that they can't trigger something major, earthquake, polluted water tables etc?
Neither can the fossil fuel industry, so, in my view, until they can make that assurance,
then they should not be able to go ahead with this stuff.

If we followed that line of reasoning we would still all be living in caves, There is no way to prove a negative

adjacent stressed faults, resulting in major quakes.


Personally, I struggle with the concept that a 250mm-300mm hole is going to be able to move a tectonic plate regardless of what you do with it. :cool:

LMAO.....and yet.... in the Ken Ring debate and the effects of the moon and tides you proposed tectonic plates so delicately balanced on knife edges that the beat of a butterflies' wings would tip them :banana :banana

:lol::lol: Lot more pull from the moon than from a hole in the ground. When you can get a 225mm-300mm hole to lift the sea 16 metres let me know. :lol:

1314841 2012-11-27 07:39:00 Drill for oil in cathedral flat, Chch. It's been pre-fracked to the hilt already.
