1163252 2010-12-19 06:21:00 There are plenty of deserts' which could be brought into production with piping desalinated sea water
That's impossible to do without incurring a tremendous cost and perhaps destroying the ecosystem of the source of sea water and the desert.

Yeah, many greenies do hinder development, but often they do hinder developments that will otherwise irreversibly damage or destroy ecosystems people will only realise benefit them once it ceases to function.

1163253 2010-12-19 07:05:00 like a few west coast snails that are being stored in fridges? Many of the urban greenies have never seen and will never understand the industries they kill off or force to spent huge money in the name of the environment. wotz (335)

Plenty of land in the Waiarapa for high density housing, like just tumble weeds rolling around there at the moment.

When will you people north of the Bombay Hills realise that the land is what brings most of the wealth into NZ. All this subdividing into silly little rural plots is madness.

1163258 2010-12-19 08:20:00 Think you've also got to have a government who supports local business and not contract everything out to China (as in railway) which we do have the expertise to make in NZ ... what's the use bringing more people into the country when we can't even keep our own people in work ... farking ridiculous.

And what makes it even more pissing off to me is, we developed the bloody designs for the rolling stock and the bloody Fv@kWits gave the plans away .... may as well buy a ticket to Oz and flick the switch when you leave, along with a couple of hundred miners and meatworkers.

Rant over ... feel better now ... :D

How much development do you think goes into a rail wagon?

The Chinese won't have any rail with the right gauge to run the wagons on so the assembly problems won't show up until they're here.

Impossible/tremendous cost!! geeeeez what the h e l l has been spent on oil/gas retrieval over the 100 years and damage to the ecosystem, viz Mexico oil spillage.

Google can't give me the name of the New Zealand arborist, who, back in the early 1970's did in fact commence planting pinus radiata in the Sahara to prevent the encroachment of sand into the surrounding areas.

In more recent times there was talk of shipping water out of the Manapouri outflow in 300,000 tone empty tankers returning to the Middle East.
