The nuclear issue has gone beyond an environmental debate though.
It is now so tied up in our national identity and overseas image it will be hard to change.
I suggest that we declare Waiheke Is. a separate country and build a nuclear station there.
That way we can put our hands on our hearts and insist that NZ is still nuclear-free.

NZ doesn't have an identity. We're still deciding what / who the fuck we are. But yes, the developed world does laugh at our nuclear free "status" among other things.

Why is it so important to have an identity?
Leave your labels at home daddyo.......I've got f*ck all in common with the rest of you!!!

And they're laughing with us!!

...soooooooo, a small fee here , for keeping schtung..........................

Nuclear is not a real option - whilst the technology and operating systems are far better and safer than they used to be, the set up and removal costs are horrendous, as is the pile of used fuel to dispose of. A modern coal station would be much better. Tidal power? Solar roof panels?
How about active promotion and encouragement to save power - effecient building design,solar hot water heaters,etc, instead of the constant promotion of using more and more power, which we apparently have not enough of!

Ah. One of the few KB's who know where I live. What's your price?

[The_Dover]

I think they should build a nuclear power station.

All of the spent fuel could be made into aircraft components, bolted to Air NZ planes and conveniently fall off somewhere over Australia like the rest of the usual bits do.

[Pixie]

The nimby hippy wankers are protesting the proposed gas plant at helensville too.

They want wind power and lentil power.
I wonder if they know that northern european states are decomissioning wind farms because they don't work?

[Pixie]

Modern Nuclear stations use such a small amount of nuclear material that they actually run cleaner than Huntly station. Surely thats gotta be a good thing......no telling the Greenies though, their heads are still in the clouds as far as technology is concerned. If it was up to Fitzsimmons, we'd all be on unicycles (to save rubber) and using candles for light.

The Greenies are religious fanatics as ignorant as any muslim or christian fundamentalist

[Pixie]

I agree that the greenie type people should have the right to live as they like and to be heard but how many of you really want to share their views and live a life like that by compulsion?

I would go further and suggest they should be forced to live as they desire:
A stone age lifestyle,toiling at manual labour,being malnourished,having 50% infant mortality and dying at age 25.

Oh and make them wear green triangles too.

Apparently the government of South Australia has been fighting environmentalist cries for wind power - on the basis it doesn't stack up. Now the government have "discovered" a local parrot which might fly into the windmill blades and shuffle off it's mortal coil. The greenies can't answer that.

[Lou Girardin]

Yip. The powerstation would be for Auckland only but we should situate it in the South Island, just to be on the safe side. After all, the SI is dispensible.

Bugger off Noddy, there's too many good riding roads down there. I'd like it in Herne bay so that I could navigate home by the green glow.
As a plus, some irradiated DNA on your part might result in you producing some good looking kids.

I was doing so much better when you weren't around. Welcome back.

There is some pretty irrational hysteria surrounding radioactive fallout. According to theory, poisoned land is sterile and unihabitable for 100+ years. But in practise the bombed areas of Nagasaki and Hiroshima recovered remarkably with plants and insects reestablishing relatively quickly.

Same with Chernobyl with people now living within the "death" zone.

Not that radiation fallout is any small thing but it seems that the earth and its organisms is more resistant than originally understood.

No they don't. It was the nutters who stopped the wind farm on the south manukau heads because it "might frighten the horses".

Also, that cunt jeanette fitsimmons from the green hippy party, has shareholdings in the company that sells the wind generators!
Can anyone else spell "conflict of interest?"

yup reckon too, that Auckland Goes Nuke Power plentry of empty space down on the water front,,

I still have 2 daughters at home! Pipe the hot water to my place for their 3 hour showers. It will save me a fortune!

If you got them irradiated, they wouldn't need to wash...
