Did anyone believe the last Morgan Poll?

Should anyone being paying attention to any polls until we even get close to an election? I mean honestly…

It was an illustrative plot only. I’m going to have to work on the details.

I’m just trying to stop Ron from building a single solar farm and encouraging your 25 site model. The single farm model sounds grand and is easier to do politically but isn’t feasible due to terrorism.

In reality it’s not really feasible at all. Best to put your power generation reasonably near to your population centres. Even then you want redundancy, so more than one plant is a really good idea. I’m not sure about the efficiencies of scale but I’d guess 10 x 10 hectare sites is nearly as efficient as a single 1 square kilometre site and a damn sight easier to build and maintain and less attractive as a target to boot. (BB – comments on the efficiency question?)

PS Where do you get one of those Norden bombsight thingies?

Been a while since they made them – might be a challenge.

I see Peter Hatcher’s doing his bit for the conservative cause. What a surprise.

Steve,

“Election speculation has broken out I think mainly because in the past elections are usually called a week after the latest Liberal leadership change.”

QLD would be having elections awful often if they did every time the libs changed leader.

Couple of interesting things here Steve Dickson has been moved by the ABC from the Sunshine Coast to Hervey Bay.

Why isn’t Rudd showing some leadership on this issue and setting up an embassy for the aliens?

What makes you think he isn’t?

And why would he tell you anyway?
