Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

If you can, and your in Australia, watch 4 Corners, ABC tv, on Monday night. There will be a story about solar and wind power. This is from the 4 Corners web site....

As urgency creeps into the hunt for climate-friendly alternatives, can Australia afford to go on downplaying the potential of renewable energy? How much power could we extract from sun, wind and geothermal sources, and at what cost compared with the government’s preferred solutions – nuclear power and "clean" coal? "Earth, Wind & Fire" 8.30 pm, Monday 16 April, ABC TV.

If you miss it, its repeated later in the week. Here is the 4 Corners web site. http://abc.net.au/4corners/default.htm

Thanks for the tip Highlander. I'm also looking forward to the show after that, about Signorney Weaver revisiting the gorilla's she met when she filmed Gorilla's in the Mist 20 odd years ago. I remember that was a touching movie.
