Two words. Confirmation bias. Not surprised you don't have a problem with it

Surely you do not equate emotivity with impartiality? Tsk tsk, hypocritical conformation (spelling is perfect thanks) bias alert.

Surely not indeed, the relationship is quite the opposite.

They're the same thing. I dunno, you for every action there's an opposite but equal reaction people ararf ya heeds.

More creative dictionarying by mashy? Impartiality is making objective decisions, allowing ones emotions to affect said decisions removes their impartiality, by definition.

Why do you persist in trying to convolute something that is wrong, into something that is maybe? Is it because you know your anti-money stance is in the same boat?

Major blow for Ruataniwha Dam... Is the dam a good idea? Yes. Then what's the problem? Oh we don't have enough money. And people are asked to have faith in the financial system, get fucked nimrods.

Why is it such a good idea? Look into it a bit deeper and you'll find it is a way to monetise a natural resource; kinda surprised you're all for that...

Coz I said so. WOW.

And here we have the thread distilled down to its very essence. It's not about logic, discussion, or education. It's just about one man whinging that the world does not conform to his infantile ideals; grow up mashy, you'll be a happier man for it.

We have been crawling since the late 50's. We should be wallowing in free power by now

Not true, per capita and per GDP we have been dominating the field.
Problem is that our consumption kept up, and our pricing stayed low (comparing to what it cost us).

Geo had one problem - the first attempt we had at it; Sucked. Took 10 years to fix and another 20 years to convince the people that it was actually a good waste of time. It also had lot to compete against considering we did hydro-electric since before the average house had power. So Hydro had a 60 year head start. Therefore the default things taught in schools was natural - hydro, and the odd farmer had a wind turbine.........this was the case at most schools up until the 1970's

But now that we have Geo.......does make you wonder if we will stop thinking again for another 50 years.

There are certain reactors in the world that are safe and have less pollution and infrastructure than renewable (yes renewable does not entirely mean green - unless you launch it into space)
So if we don't want out kids to think we stop innovating - and being 50 years behind the ball.......shouldn't we now start thinking about those?

Or do stay 50 years behind, and stick with Geo?

Counter claim to that should be what incentives in premium rebates etc has the insurance company offered to customers for inovative preventative modifications?

Chicken and egg syndrome ... who benefits the most? ... An insurance company to avoid I think!

Can we build good ones these days? If I gave you 100,000 qualified people, how long til I get my 20? I hope we learn to run dual devices. If you can, er, lay your hands on some

I know it's not green, nothing is green... unless it is manifested into existence via cognitive mental projection of course.

Why not all? No point sitting with ones thumb up ones arse whilst designing the tricky feckers. Chuck up some panels and turbines whilst waiting for the go ahead for the tricky feckers. Get a geothermal plant or two banged together. Ode to be free.

Nah, you'll never get people to start valuing their belongings and telling the insurance company what they're worth. Next they'll be making you pay for a professional evaluation too.
