| 339137 | 2005-04-02 05:56:00 | The Chernobyl disaster was due to poor design/management. British reactors from the earliest, Magnox they were called from memory, have been safe. I must declare vested interest in nuclear power of having been involved with gas bearings for Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor circulators, and bearings for the liquid sodium pump in the Dounrey Prototype Fast Reactor whilst at English Electric, also close contact with colleagues at AEA establishments like Winfrith. The reactors themselves are not inherently unsafe, the big problem is what happens to the radioactive spent fuel. It is glassified and then stored for eternity, a problem for our descendents to have to cope with. That is the big no-no from my point of view, not any hysterical anti-nuclear nonsense we hear from the ill-informed. |

| 339139 | 2005-04-02 08:13:00 | Maybe a very deep shark infested sea water ditch on the Waikato side of the Bombays then give everyone a couple of weeks to decide which side they want to live. Export all the Auckland population based prison inmates back to where they came from too. Let's all support an Independent Nation of Auckland. :thumbs:No lets not. Auckland has about 1/3 of this country's population. Many of us like to live in this whole country and would like to still be able to travel between all parts of it. Division by locationism seems just as pointless as sexism, racism, or any other "ism". It solves nothing. OK, i'm biased, i spent most of my first 22 years in various parts of Auckland, before the West Coast, and the last decade in CHCH. Therefore i am fully "kiwi" rather than proud of any particular town. ;) If you don't like pylons, stop using electricity, until then, please except that the northern third of our country's population need a bigger extension cord! |

| 339140 | 2005-04-02 08:39:00 | the northern third of our country's population need a bigger extension cord The northern third also need to remember theres another 2/3 south of the Bombay Hills, and they should also remember the southern third end up subsidising their Jafa ar**s. And yes we bit** about it, but not as much as our north of the Bombay cousins. In case you think I'm just some hick country boy, I too have lived in Auckland.... but would rather live somewhere normal (like with my sheep sha**ing southern family :)) Signed: a southern man at heart :cool: |

Sorry, but i heard it ALL before, and i must say that its a load of divisionist crap! SI nutters were singing about "cutting the cable" many years ago, but were strangely silent when a few years back we were importing power from the north. SI nutters were quick to slag AK (is this some new sport?) as "bludgers", but are slow to recognise that the SI has had the highest rates of unemployment in the country.... I think the word projection may apply here. No matter where we choose to settle, its one country, and all parts of it contribute in their own unique ways, including AK, to state the obvious. If we can it would be good if we could look at the issues without resorting to slagging off "bloody Aucklanders" and the likes. Also, just for the record... I'm was conceived "In The Naki", and my parents still live there, so I'm not arguing for my "home town" by defending AK. :@@: |

| 339143 | 2005-04-02 11:10:00 | if project aqua went through i think that would make the power situation much betterTrue, but it would still leave problems with distribution. Personally i think Nagakawau should be damned, after all its a dead river thats on the West coast of the SI and flows all the time.... perfect! :thumbs: |

| 339144 | 2005-04-02 11:37:00 | yeap, there are lots of resources down here just waiting to be utilised, ie the whole power supply issue | Prescott (11) | ||
| 339145 | 2005-04-02 11:50:00 | Personally i think Nagakawau should be damned, after all its a dead river thats on the West coast of the SI and flows all the time.... perfect! Typical Jafa 'Lets damn all the resources and rape and pillage the earth some more... who cares, so long as we can have our yuppie lifestyle, who cares what the rest of the country says. We are Auckland, we should be waited on hand and foot; everyone should bow to our wishes so we can have what we want' Maybe Jafas should look at an alternative energy source... i.e. theres a lot of s**t in Auckland (weird considering the politics happen in Wellington (apart from Hubbard and his cronies)). Maybe that s**t could produce Methanol and be used produce electricity Edit: if you think I hate Aucklanders you're wrong, just dislike the ones who think they the only ones who exist in NZ - I did have to feel for the Western Spring fans, when I lived in Tauranga we had the same problem (whingeing neighbours who moved in knowing it was a noisy area) which resulted in Baypark being closed for many years |

| 339146 | 2005-04-02 12:13:00 | Typical Jafa Dude, before resorting to semi-personal abuse, read a few posts above this one. Also, just for the record... I'm was conceived "In The Naki", and my parents still live there, so I'm not arguing for my "home town" by defending AK I've been here in CHCH for the last decade, and 8 years on the West Coast (Millerton) before that. I am of Taranaki stock, and therefore am not a "Typical Jafa". Please read before you attack on a personal level. You'll come out less hysterical egg on the face that way. You obviously have a problem with "JAFAs" and seem to need to call those who disagree with you JAFAs too, even if they aren't. AS said before, there is a locationism trend that reeks of hatred similar to racial hatred. Perhaps to some, Aucklanders may be the new niggers of the country, but we are all people, and all deserve the basics, such as this new fangled electric light stuff...... EVEN AUCKLANDERS!!!! :groan: |
