As for the rest, hilarious Graham! Those mining magnates with their finger in every pie – let's shorten it and call them ball suckers! They only care about their own brief existence in comfort and screw what happens in the future.
It's just pure insanity that we have a massive natural resource, not capitalised on, the sun – while digging ancient shit out of the ground that will run out. Don;t tell me all those billions they spend on pulling that muck out of the earth, and probably destabilising it can't be redirected to properly garner some of the sun's energy. What about special solar satellites?
Saw a doco on sunsport recently – amazing how much energy pours out of that thing, and we do nothing with it. Or should I saw amazeballs. Can't see it catching on.
What a dumb ass species. The sheep analogy is a good one, with Rineheart the prize ewe.
