| 1314848 | 2012-11-27 08:49:00 | This. Burning dead things for power is outdated, shortsighted and has no sustainable future.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. From what I have been reading there is now enough fossil fuel to keep us going for a few hundred years. No country in the world has yet gone for electric cars in a big way. There is no money in them as they have few parts (and you can't hear them coming!) The car companies are hardly going to set up plants to build cars for little old NZ. And who is going to pay for all the charging stations. (They do have one positive in NZ as they could be charged up at night using hydro which goes 24/7) |

| 1314849 | 2012-11-27 09:35:00 | From what I have been reading there is now enough fossil fuel to keep us going for a few hundred years. With increasing costs (both economic and environmental) for diminishing returns. It makes much more sense to get on the new tech path early. No country in the world has yet gone for electric cars in a big way.No country had given women the vote, or banned nuclear weapons or exported frozen meat to the other side of the world or ... Our nations fortunes have taken a turn for the worse since we became followers rather than leaders. There is no money in them as they have few parts (and you can't hear them coming!) That doesn't sound like a disadvantage. The car companies are hardly going to set up plants to build cars for little old NZ.They will if we start buying them. And who is going to pay for all the charging stations. The same people that are currently paying for all the petrol stations. (They do have one positive in NZ as they could be charged up at night using hydro which goes 24/7) Yes. |

| 1314853 | 2012-11-28 07:19:00 | Bay of Fundy. :) HERE (http://www.thehighesttides.com/) You have yet again conveniently ignored the reason for the 16 metre tides is the effect of resonance. The moon does not pull the water up 16 metres as you kept saying in the Ken Ring/moon thread :) I'll quote from that site you gave where it explains why the tides are so high: "The primary cause of the immense tides of Fundy is a resonance of the Bay of Fundy-Gulf of Maine system. The system is effectively bounded at its outer end by the edge of the continental shelf with its approximately 40:1 increase in depth. The system has a natural period of approximately 13 hours, which is close to the 12h 25m period of the dominant lunar tide of the Atlantic Ocean." |
