November 8th - Now you know when not to vote Labour.

[Flatcap]

There is one city in China (of 3million people) that has 98% of its total hot water provided by Solar panels, residential and commercial. Do we see any initiatives like this in NZ, other than lip service to "we must use more sustainable power" ?
Fat fucking chance!

Easy to achieve if you don't bathe

You're getting China confused with France, I think...

China Fires up a new Coal fuelled plant every ten days, does any other country ?

Is any other country developing as fast as China? It's playing catchup and just doing what the West did to develop, except it's doing it over 10 yrs, not 150. Without schemes like the solar water, etc, it would probably firing up another 8-10 power stations a year. China uses half the amount of energy per person as the West and on a percentage scale, the use of alternative energy is far higher than most "greener" countries - it's just the sheer numbers and the scale of the place. No RMA in China - is that what people want for their countries?

When you break China down to a per capita basis most of the stats become redundant due to the fact that a vast number of Chinas 1,321,851,888 population dont live in a manner equivalent to the majority of the western population, becasue of that per capita stats dont work.
The Fact that China does have a high growth rate and is utilising a huge number of resources to fuel its growth means to me that we in little ole tiny incy pincy New Zealand has gone WAY TO FAR on the whole emissions scam, and to my way of thinking INSTANTLY shows its nothing more than Government lead planned and marketed media hype to enable the governments tax take on us to increase to a level which will soon be nothing short of a "astronomical increase" in relation to what we currently pay now (for failing services and infrastructure)

No RMA in New Zealand ?? we could only wish !

Now Im off to load the rifle its Greens hunting season

Correct! After 9 years of labour nothing has changed here.
Glad to hear that you will also be voting for National or Act!

Yep and look how clean their air was for the Olympics They had ta shut down a lot of industries and stop vehice use around the Olympics to try and get it clean enough. Ya wouldn't get me eatting any thing in the water around there to. China has a big cleaning up to do. Some people here need ta pull their heads out of the sand or we won't have a healthy place to live in.

Mate - I'm not sure why you use blue but unfortunately on a black background, it is barely readable. Good to be different but if your points can't be read.... ?
