Fusion or any other clean energy source coupled with storage is the only way to go.


The extract below from today's ABC news is interesting.


I wonder what spin Mr Adani will use when he tells the average Indian that he represents BIG COAL and he is here to kill you.


(Probably he is in contact with BIG TOBACCO for a few tips.)



The health effects of New Delhi's toxic air were demonstrable this week.
Smog forced the temporary halt of a Test match between India and Sri Lanka, with several players running off the field to vomit, an incident some labelled a shameful wake-up call.
But don't expect urgent action — it may be killing them, but few Delhi residents see the problem.
"Pollution level is very low today," Vishal, a 20-year-old student on his way to to watch the final day's cricket on Wednesday, said.
The quantity of toxic particles in New Delhi's air was 13 times the World Health Organisation's 'safe' level.
"So yes it's a problem, but not really a problem," Vishal concluded.
Even more startling is a common belief that Delhiites are somehow tough, adapted, inured even to the harmful air they breathe.


Air pollution like smoking '10 to 15 cigarettes a day'

An October Lancet foundation report found that a staggering 2.5 million Indians died premature, pollution-related deaths in 2015 — the most of any nation worldwide.
Another recent report found a high correlation between air pollution and babies being born underweight and underdeveloped.
Dr Arvind Kumar, a lung specialist at New Delhi's Ganga Ram hospital, is firm in his belief something needs to change.
"Every citizen of the city of Delhi in the last year has smoked 10 to 15 cigarettes per day," Dr Kumar said.
"Its a serious issue and there is no way we can afford to ignore it any longer."

The useless Galilee Basin airport proposal is looking less and less likely along with the Adani coal mine. Chinese loans gone. Ex Rockhampton Mayor Strewlow and donor of other peoples money to dud projects - gone. Government subsidies for rail links - gone. How much longer before Mr Adani abandons his dirty dodgy project and goes back to India to enjoy a short life breathing the toxic pollutants his coal burning is already producing?
