Just for Trav

Hey Everybody who reads my blog

Sorry about no blogging for the last month or so, I just didn't have much material and I didn't want to bore you into a mindless pulp on nothing.

Recently in politics however not much has changed. Except we as in Australia like most other countries with concerns over power generation are seeking debate over which is better (renewable vs Nuclear/coal).

In my opinion this debate in Australia is bias towards fossil fuels (all of us are bias towards on side or the other) but the problem with the renewables is the security of supply. That is where Germany comes in.
Watching Dataline (SBS) last night Germany have the idea of bio-mass eg: methane. For local towns and villages and the excess power is sold to the national grid at above market price.

Now tell me this, that isn't a viable economic situation is it if the power companies have to buy the excess power from little villages at a higher price is it?

I think that bio-mass is a brilliant idea but the excess power should be sold at market price and I think the CO² free coal power plant is the way to go or the pebbel bed nuclear reactor or a combination of these.

Go the Socceroos!!!!
