Was at lunch yesterday where the issue of future power sources was discussed. According to some, hydrogen power will be the go to fuel for cars. I expressed my reservations it could be commercially viable given the properties of the gas, but then wake to reading this today. Am I wrong?

Hydrogen difficulties:
1. It requires energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.
2. Cannot be contained in the sort of metal fuel tanks we use now for petrol and diesel.
3. Unsafe to ship – has to be converted to ammonia, then reconverted later.
4. Like wind power, it will require a complete redesign of vehicles and the distribution system (infrastructure) that a century of development has made good for petrol and diesel, and coal fired power.
5. We are governed by idiots, who are in turn supported by complicit media who do not tell the truth about power systems and energy generally. Hence we get stupid memes like Green Hydrogen, and Green political parties. -
Pentecost Sunday
Veni Sancte Spiritus – Pentecost Sequence Sung in Latin Gregorian Chant
Pentecost was a Jewish feast, as it remains today, going back to the time of Moses. It commemorated two events: the end of the harvest 50 days after the Passover, for which it was called the Festival of Weeks, and the Giving of the Torah, or Law, to Moses on Mt Sinai fifty days after the first Passover, when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt.
For this feast all males were to go up to Jerusalem, which explains why the Acts of the Apostles tell us that “there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven” (Acts 2:5).
When Christians began to celebrate Pentecost to commemorate the coming of the Holy Spirit on the apostles on the very day of the Jewish feast, they kept the name Pentecost, from the Greek word meaning “fiftieth”, because it came 50 days after Easter.
In English the feast is also known as Whitsunday, or White Sunday, because on that day the newly baptised wore their white garments for the services.

Told in Max Hasting’s book “Soldiers. Great Stories of War and Peace.”
The Anglo French Suez invasion of 1956 was marked by a fair amount of military confusion.
“When ships eventually unloaded at Port Said, there were surprises. At the fishing harbor a senior staff officer noticed a three ton lorry so overloaded that it’s rear springs were all but concave, and stuck fast on the ramp. “Who the bloody hell are you,” he inquired kindly ” and what are you doing?”
“I, Sir” responded a voice of much dignity “am the Mess – Sergeant of Her Majesty’s Life Guards, and I have with me the officer’s mess silver, and champagne.”
Nice, ZK2A.
Mum’s partner was in that imbroglio, a driver of interesting vehicles for odd jobs. The locals had a picturesque habit of stringing wires across the roads for motorcycle couriers and top-down landrover drivers. -
Blackout Bowen should read this if he ever sobers up!
Modern civilization has only two choices for baseload power—hydrocarbons or nuclear.The heralded wind and solar ‘transition’ has already revealed itself as among the greatest deceptions ever pulled. Harry Houdini would have been impressed with the wind and sun cult’s ability to turn night into day and twist logic and reason beyond even the most delusional imagination.
As Nick Giambruno details in this punchy little essay, taxpayers and power consumers around the globe have already stumped up $5 trillion subsidise wind and solar, with their combined output globally amounting to little more than a rounding error.
Nick correctly describes coal, oil and gas as the mainstay of the world’s energy supply – now, and for generations to come. Given that wind and solar have already proven to be an abject failure, as Nick points out, the only serious contender is safe, reliable and affordable nuclear.
The Great Energy Deception: The Truth Behind the $5 Trillion Renewable Energy Scam
Financial Underground
Nick Giambruno
April 2023Did you know governments worldwide have spent over $5 trillion in the past two decades to subsidize wind, solar, and other so-called renewables?
To put that in perspective, if you earned $1 a second 24/7/365—about $31 million per year—it would take you 158,550 YEARS to make $5 trillion.
$5 trillion is an almost unfathomable amount of money.
However, even with that astronomical financial support, the world still depends on hydrocarbons for 84% of its energy needs—down only 2% since governments started binge spending on renewables 20 years ago.
That’s all according to Mark Mills in a report from the Manhattan Institute, who concludes that:
“The lessons of the recent decade make it clear that solar, wind, and battery technologies cannot be surged in times of need, are neither inherently ‘clean’ nor even independent of hydrocarbons, and are not cheap.”
With all that in mind, it should be clear that so-called renewables—more accurately, unreliables—have been a giant flop. They are not viable for baseload power—even with $5 trillion in subsidies and two decades of trying. Today, using wind and solar for mass power generation is an artificial political solution that would not have been chosen on a genuinely free market for energy.
Wind and solar power might be useful in specific situations. Still, it’s ridiculous to think they can provide reliable baseload power for an advanced industrial economy. It’s like trying to force a square peg into a round hole.

Boxing Day my car (2010 Subaru Forester cost me $4K) blew up its radiator on the country run.Chris – the cost of labour is so high these days its only worth owning an old car if you know how to fix it yourself.
You could have picked up a wrecker engine for a $k and bolted it in. It only takes a couple of hours to change a subaru engine.

EXCLUSIVE: Read the bombshell text messages between ABC star Laura Tingle and Brittany Higgins as they discuss the leaking of documents with the backing of the DPP: ‘How f***ing outrageous’
Brittany Higgins leaked her complaint against AFP to the ABC
Ms Tingle said: ‘Oh Britt. I’m so sorry … How f***ing outrageous’By Charlotte Karp In Canberra For Daily Mail Australia
Published: 01:46 AEST, 28 May 2023 | Updated: 01:49 AEST, 28 May 2023
Text messages show Brittany Higgins leaked a complaint about the Federal police to the ABC’s chief political correspondent two months before the trial against her alleged rapist Bruce Lehrmann was set to begin, and the top prosecutor appeared to know all about it.
The extraordinary exchange between Ms Higgins and Laura Tingle, obtained exclusively by Daily Mail Australia, took place on WhatsApp in the lead-up to an article published on the national broadcaster’s website on April 27, 2022.
The messages detailed a formal complaint against the Australian Federal Police (AFP) over the unlawful release of Ms Higgins’ private mental health records and psychology notes to Mr Lehrmann’s defence team.
Ms Higgins alleged her former colleague Mr Lehrmann raped her inside Parliament House after a night out in March 2019. His original trial in the ACT Supreme Court was scheduled for June last year, but was later moved to October, before the case was discontinued

Ex-Special Forces soldiers speak out against war crimes accusations after decades of serviceSimon Heath and

‘Appalling, clumsy, calamitous’: Erin Molan slams ADF investigationUP NEXT
Former elite Special Forces soldiers have broken ranks to make a public plea for understanding with more than two years of police investigations destroying their marriages, careers and mental health.
Since the Brereton report into alleged war crimes was released in 2020, a war of silence has largely existed around the 23 men directly accused of wrong doing and dozens more who served around them.
Only one man has been charged, briefs against two others are in preparation for the DPP and the rest have been living in limbo with regular Office of Special Investigator calls, visits, phone taps and offers of immunity inducements if they roll on others.
Now several of the former SAS have agreed to go public, agreeing to speak on condition of anonymity with details of what they went through from the Afghanistan battlefields to equally distressing lives since back home.
“We did hundreds of missions, some guys for almost 20 years, I did nine tours. It was the SAS out there, very few others went outside the wire, the Commandos also did some stuff up the valley,” one former soldier said.
“In 2011 and 2012 we stopped Australians getting killed, we shut down the guys making IEDs and Aussies lived because of that. We were getting shot at on every mission, we had mates die, we saw our mates die,” added another.
“A lot of people don’t realise what Afghanistan was like … none of the fighting was out in the desert, it was all in the Green Zone, where people lived, mostly in farmland. We were fighting guys who’d be farmers, and then they’d be Taliban, and then go back to being farmers. The Taliban bosses f**ked off to Pakistan and hid out there, we knew that, and then as soon as the Yanks f**ked off they came crawling back.”

Vivek crying victim here is pathetic. You can’t go on a professional networking and employment site, start spouting political opinions, and whinge you’re being politically targeted when your rants get suppressed. The rest of the Internet exists for speech and LinkedIn has a purpose that I do not think it should stray from with very good reason.
Birka, I don’t get your complaint here. LinkedIn is full of woke liberal opinion, and here they are sprung censoring it’s opponents. Vivek is simply exposing their ideological commitments.

Tingle eh? These meja people are just so nasty. What’s their problem?
The ABC sees it as their right to use their media platform to influence politics, but screams ‘muh independence’ as soon as anyone in politics comments on the wayward behaviour of the ABC.
What makes it worse is that politicians only really ever call out the ABC for its politics but the ABC sees any attempt to point out their interference in politics as political interference in their (biased) reporting.

I am curious at the media reaction to the Durham report and its reference to Alexander Downer. You would think that Australian media would latch onto the Australian connection and ask Downer to explain or at least comment on it. The deafening silence is interesting particularly from Sky. Chris Kenny even had Downer on his show and he failed to ask a single question about it.

“5. We are governed by idiots, who are in turn supported by complicit media who do not tell the truth about power systems and energy generally. Hence we get stupid memes like Green Hydrogen, and Green political parties.”
Indeed. Well said.
Further to “complicit media who do not tell the truth “, in case you haven’t heard British Cycling has finally banned biological males, even those biological males who’ve chopped off their dicks, even those biological males who’ve guzzled tonnes of hormones. Amen. Of course, the usual progressive coterie of deviants, perverts, cheats and progressive idiots are now all wailing, “it’s not fair” (funny how they’re never interested in “fairness” when it comes to the perverts competing and beating biological women), never mind the fact that the science is absolutely crystal clear about what happens to males after they’ve gone through puberty, which is that even if an adult male cuts his dick off, or guzzles a tonne of hormones, HE still has a considerable biological winning edge over biological females. But now, in the light of the British Cycling ban, some are asking the very reasonable question, “well, how did it get this far when a sporting organisation has had to come out and issue such a common sense policy ban?”. That’s a good question, and the answer is obvious. The reason why it has gotten so far is that too weaklings and cowards in government, corporate, sporting, media and entertainment professions have all been captured by this gruesome perverted nonsense, they worship at the altar of LGBTQI+ queer bulldust, they have willingly swallowed sinister lies they then happily propagate, and they avidly participate in the gaslighting of deplorables…aka ordinary people, to the point where we are now in a situation where perverts are beating biological women in cycling, surfing, swimming and so on. And don’t get me started on male perverts in changerooms. Even now, under a story on the Oz, if I was to write the following truthful words….
“Transwomen are not women”.
The comment would be rejected, within seconds I might add.
One of the main reasons why we now find ourselves in these very ludicrous and dystopian times is because we no longer have a media that is brave, a media that is curious and inquisitive, and a media that wants to tell the truth. Because, and here’s a fundamental basic truth, a truth that even the Oz won’t even publish, which is that….”transwomen are not women”.
Very very few want to stand up and speak truth and those who do, like Sall Grover, like Bernard Gaynor, like Kirralee Smith, like Lyle Shelton, have been or are being reported on by perverts and then they are summoned before a Stasi like government department such as the AHRC (departments I might add that in the almost nine years of cretinous Coalition governments, they did f*ck all to rein in or curb), and be forced to attend mediation all because they’ve spoken a basic truth such as, wait for it….”transwomen are not women”.
By the way, has someone told Little Johnny Prosciutto and his fellow jelly-back comrades in the Victorian Liberal Party about the UK cycling ban? Or perhaps Little Johnny Prosciutto or one of the cretinous minions in his office are now furiously looking up Wikipedia to smear the head of British Cycling, a man named John Dutton, as a “Nazi” or “Nazi adjacent”. Oh and Monty must also now think that the head of British Cycling is a hateful, far-right Nazi and he too should be “punched’ in the face.
I couldn’t comment much yesterday as I had a busy family day, but scrolling back I note that yesterday “hzhousewife” asked, in response to my comment about “all the major Australian corporates and banks are furiously embracing ESG”
“I’m curious to know exactly how they are doing this. Are they refusing customers for example?Yes, the big four banks and large corporates are now beginning to refuse to lend money and/or work with companies with no ESG policy. ESG is now becoming entrenched in loans, leases, mortgages and so on. And again this comes back to moral cowardice and all round moral posturing. Green activism is now rampant through most large Australian companies and organisations. How has it got this far? Well, it comes back to the aforementioned transpervert stuff above, it’s due to a fatal combination of moral cowardice, of not wanting to upset the apple cart and of selling your souls to far-left activists. I should add that whilst small small business may not yet be effected by ESG militant activism, they will be, it’s already effecting medium sized business. If you don’t have “green” ESG policies then you won’t get a dime from the major banks.
So, as said above, we are indeed governed by cowardly supine idiots, who are in turn propped up and supported by a complicit media who do not and will not tell the truth about anything. And what do we get? Stupid, stupid memes like Green Hydrogen, Green political parties, ESG, Twiggy Forrest is a hero (never mind his League or Rights’ connections), perverts destroying women’s sports, perverts in women only changerooms and all the rest of the far-left gunk running amok in the West.
And oneday, people will ask “well, how did it get this far when we allowed Green nonsense to run amok, when we destroyed our energy grid, when we destroyed our agriculture, when we allowed children to be mutilated, surgically and chemically, and all the rest of the sinister, ludicrous nonsense currently running amok in the West?”
Here’s my answer……cowardice, that how.
By the way I hope you’re all ready, coz…coz…get the drums out…..June is “Pride Month”.
Apologies about the long rant.

Didn’t the Durham report find that Downer’s role was quite benign, but that the Hilderbeest’s campaign misrepresented it (so much nicer a word than ‘lies about’) to get the hoax rolling?
If the media interviews downer he might point this out. If they don’t, and noone else corrects the record, the lie survives.

Would have thought it was a feature, not a bug. Hun:
One of the Andrews government’s signature climate change initiatives gave away millions of dollars in carbon credits to companies which installed water heaters that did not deliver the energy savings they promised.
The Essential Services Commission has urgently removed a popular water heater installed under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program after it was discovered they were far less efficient than advertised.
The water heaters have been registered on the scheme since 2018 and insiders say they have been widely used across Victoria and NSW.
Under the VEU, installers are granted about $6200 worth of carbon credits for each energy efficient water heater they install.
This allows most installers to offer them for free while still making a profit of about $3200 after other costs.
Power generators have to buy carbon credits on the open market, and pass on the cost of them to consumers, meaning ordinary customers and businesses have worn the cost of the bungle.
The water heaters are manufactured under the Eco Alliance brand.
Essential Services Commission figures show about $17.9 million in credits have been granted to a related company, Eco Light Up, for their installations over the past 12 months.
The water heaters are among the most popular products on the scheme, which also provides subsidies for the installation of energy efficient lights, split systems and other electronic goods.
One industry insider, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said Eco Alliance water heaters were commonly used throughout Victoria and NSW.
“They should be pausing every product from this company until they can test the authenticity of its lab reports,” the insider said.
“There have been container loads given to other accredited people in both states.”
In another alarming move, the ESC this week wrote to the industry warning that it has received serious complaints about water heaters more broadly.
This included safety concerns over some tanks not being properly secured.
“The commission has zero tolerance for non-compliant, unethical, unsafe, fraudulent or misleading behaviour by persons accredited to deliver energy efficient products and services through the program,” they wrote.
“Staff are closely monitoring this activity and actively investigating installations where we hold concerns.
“This includes formally referring matters to other regulators and authorities for assessment.
“I urge all accredited persons to urgently review their business practices for this activity to ensure safe installation and compliance with the program rules.”
Opposition environment spokesman James Newbury said: “The Labor Government is now literally flushing your money down the drain.”
Eco Alliance did not respond when contacted by the Sunday Herald Sun.
The scandal comes less than a year after the Herald Sun revealed the large-scale rorting of the same scheme using supposedly energy-efficient fridges, which led to dozens of fridges being dumped on the street outside businesses.
This year alone there have been about 200,000 carbon credits made from hot water units, valued at about $14m.
The VEU program is reliant on the fact that each credit takes a tonne of carbon out of the atmosphere by saving on energy usage.

Full ‘off the record’ text exchange between Laura Tingle and Brittany Higgins
March, 2022
Brittany Higgins: ‘Hi Laura, hope you are well. Completely off the record but I wanted to reach out about a formal complaint I’ll likely be making against the AFP in the coming weeks.
‘Please excuse me if David has briefed you already – Shane Drumgold the DPP brought a whole new palaver to out attention.
‘The AFP went against protocol serving the full brief of evidence to the defence (in the ACT this is usually conducted by the AFP). In addition to this, the brief included all my mental health records, session notes from the Canberra Rape Crisis Centre and full videos of my EIC interviews.
‘The DPP has been trying to ascertain how and why this happened through the police. They’ve also sought assurances from the defence counsel that although the brief was in their [possession] for months it wasn’t looked at.
‘It’s still a moveable feast but it’s something that may happen in the next three weeks or so.’
‘… When the time comes, I’m happy to provide the full back and forth correspondence from the DPP and AFP.’
Laura Tingle: ‘Oh Britt. I’m so sorry. You need this like a hole in the head. How sh*t. How f***ing outrageous. Thanks for filling me in. David hadn’t mentioned it.
‘I will, of course, keep it firmly in the vault. Just sing out, of course, if and when you want to provide the full lot. Lots of hugs and boxing gloves in the meantime.
‘And [pet cat] Boo (if she wasn’t fast asleep on the back deck) would also be sending love.’
Brittany Higgins: ‘Thank you again. Sending you the best for the coming budget week! Hope you are well x’
Laura Tingle: ‘Thanks! I must confess I’m not looking forward to it…or the campaign. The past week of grubbiness over Kimberley Kitching has left me feeling quite ill.’
April 20, 2022
Brittany Higgins: ‘Hi Laura, hope you are well. Just letting you know tht I’m going to lodge the formal complaint against the AFP today.
‘These are the notes compiled by the DPP Shane Drumgold in relation to the police misconduct.’
[five screenshots attached]
April 21
Laura Tingle: ‘Hi Darls, apologies for not getting back to you yesterday…but it’s a crazy day as D may have explained…hoping to look at this tomorrow.. does Tuesday publication work?’
April 25
Laura Tingle: ‘Hi Britt. Apologies at being slow about this. Hadn’t counted on being crook today. Just going through the docos. First just wanted to check the status of the material from the DPP?
‘Can I quote directly from it as coming from the DPP and provided to you for the purpose of making the complaint (or just advising you what has happened)?
‘(P.s. this whole thing is SO outrageous…but I guess I don’t have to tell you that!)’
Brittany Higgins: ‘No problems! Hope you are on the mend. Yes, the DPP provided me with this written account to help with the complaint. As long s it’s made clear that the comments attributed to the DPP came from emails seen by the ABC.
‘I’m happy to reconfirm with Shane in the morning just to make sure he’s comfortable.’
Brittany Higgins, responding to ‘this is SO outrageous’: ‘It’s shockingly bad form. The whole process between the police and dealing with the Govt behind the scenes has been a nightmare.’
April 26
Laura Tingle: ‘Hi Britt, just to let you know I’m keen to keep pushing on this. I have written a draft pending clarification from the DPP about using that information that has been provided to you (and the best way of attributing it).
‘I have signalled to the program that I have written something for online and am getting the ABC lawyers involved early – before I formally seek comments from all the various players – so there should not be any problems.
‘You mentioned you would talk to Shane and that’s probably a good idea. But I of course will have to approach his office for a statement later.’
Brittany Higgins: Oh great news. Thank you, I appreciate how tricky these types of stories are for publishers from a legal standpoint.
‘Yes, I’ve emailed Shane and will endeavour to speak with him shortly. Best, Britt.’
Laura Tingle: ‘Excellent! Here’s hoping we can jump all the hurdles and get it away today.’

By the way, on C.L.’s marvellous blog he’s posted this twitter exchange from Doomlord in response to Tone Abbott’s tweet…
Ukraine is not the only country under existential threat, but it is the one most threatened now; that’s why it is the global frontline of freedom, and why every free country should rally to its side. :
Doomlord responded…
“Very annoying when Australian politicians discover threats to freedom halfway around the world, but did nothing to promote freedom in Australia while in office.”
Beautifully said Doomlord.

WTF? Didn’t we just go through a month of that sh*t?Every month is now pride month. Corporations will be expected and are cooperating every day. I expect that in the near future anyone applying for a job will be asked to demonstrate their commitment to rainbow powers that be. Reminds me of how behind the Iron Curtain anyone who wanted a job had to express their fealty to the Communist Party.

paying $847,000 for a one bedroom apartment in Newtown
Living the dream.
I often feel like telling the millenials (or whatever the f*ck they call themselves) I work with whining about never being able to buy property to stop being collectivists and to stop voting for collectivist imbeciles.
But what are the alternatives, when we’ve been gifted with three extreme left political parties (and the fourth are practitioners of national agrarian socialism)?
Voting for one nation is so uncool they’d not consider it. As for the gliberal democrats, they would never have even heard of them.

Then there is Victims of Crime Commissioner Heidi Yates who acted as an intermediary between the alleged rape victim and police and whose multiple appearances walking Higgins to court and standing with her at media conferences sparked ongoing controversy. It is unthinkable that the commissioner in any other area, roads, police or fire, would be driving a steamroller, heading a murder investigation or holding a hose.
Heidi and Drumgold should be in a cell together.

Brought in Perth way back when, for half the price I would have paid in Sydney. Sold for over ten times what I paid for the place. Housing in Sydney is a rip off.
Would have made more in Sydney over the past decade. All property is relative if you have to buy in the same market. Leaving Sydney for anywhere is always a good play in my book.

Jane Fonda Blames Men for Climate Change: ‘We Have to Arrest and Jail Those Men’ (27 May)
Hollywood star Jane Fonda made the outrageous claim Friday that climate change is being caused exclusively by men, specifically white men, adding that “those men” must be arrested and jailed.
She also blamed the “patriarchy” and “racism” for global warming.
Speaking at a career retrospective at the Cannes Film Festival in France, Jane Fonda promoted her radical climate activism efforts, saying the world has “about seven, eight years” to cut fossil fuel consumption in half.
Gulags are back, baby, this time for white men. Btw how’d she get to Cannes? Paddle in a canoe?

I foolishly gave my details to a water heater company in Victoria.
Still getting text messages
What I’d really like is a gas or electricity boosted solar hot water service but the process to purchase one is extremely opaque.
Why can’t I walk into a showroom and choose the appliances that suits me and then engage an installer of my choice?
Instead you get a list of online installers, (and the heat pump things are a priority) and have to work backwards.
I also get the impression they prefer suckers with existing electric hot water systems, rather than gas, because it’s easier for them to install them, as I initially contacted them at least eight months ago.
The system stinks.
