Also, I would encourage you to ammend your post concerning the last few year's explosion of Shale Gas in the US. Natural Gas does appear to be the most cost effectivce bridge fuel to the future. I think we will commercialize fusion before non-subsidized wind and solar become economically viable.

ABC summary:<BR/><BR/> Its key message: Australia undervalues its resources. The foods and other products that Australians consume and export are all part of the envied lifestyle – but are heavily subsidised by the environment.<BR/><BR/> Each year this arid country effectively exports more water than is used in its cities and its towns - without getting paid for it. Meanwhile rivers and creeks are choking. When a grain shipment is sent overseas, no one pays for the wear and tear on fragile topsoils, let alone their repair.<BR/><BR/> It’s a wake-up call to policy-makers… but which politician is willing to demand another 20 cents on a loaf of bread to help save water or topsoil?<BR/><BR/> The study also prompts hard questions about whether Australia is selling itself short in big resource deals, for example, the much-heralded $25 billion, 25-year agreement to supply North West Shelf gas to China.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-76525282586133173782008-07-05T11:37:00.000+10:002008-07-05T11:37:00.000+10:00Must admit I've never read the "Future Dilemmas" p...Must admit I've never read the "Future Dilemmas" paper - it can be found here for those who are interested:<BR/><BR/>http://www.cse.csiro.au/research/futuredilemmas/Big Gavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682404837426502876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-6068066663538571982008-07-05T10:06:00.000+10:002008-07-05T10:06:00.000+10:00This is a very relevant study of the natural gas s...This is a very relevant study of the natural gas situation in Australia...and is the most likely explanation of why we are in a political jam currently. It raises many questions not just about domestic control of our resources but also the efficiency of our economic thinking. Should we be expending vast amounts of energy in the process of gas liquification and then even more energy to ship 1000s of kilometres abroad for the poultry reward of a few cents per kilogram? And if the situation of ammonia shortage continues how are we addressing our own agriculture sector to find alternatives to nitrogen access for soil...Barney Foran of the CSIRO (Future Dilemma's) detailed these issues but as time goes on global food production is increasingly becoming enmeshed with our dwindling energy reserves...pointing to the need to adopt agricultural practices which are fully costed in terms of input costs and degradation to the environment...the situation of the Murray River and Great Artesian Basin being the evidence that we need to respond with policies to manage ourselves before we get too pre-occupied with sending energy wastefully to far flung parts of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-91033533604622426592008-06-14T07:52:00.000+10:002008-06-14T07:52:00.000+10:00Thanks for the comment.I actually referred to your...Thanks for the comment.<BR/><BR/>I actually referred to your post at rosettamoon in the article (see the link from "compressed natural gas" in the 4th paragraph...Big Gavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682404837426502876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-46099244298017538762008-06-13T20:22:00.000+10:002008-06-13T20:22:00.000+10:00It would seem Martin Ferguson is caught between a ...It would seem Martin Ferguson is caught between a rock and a very hard place. <BR/><BR/>Im a bit surprised Penny Wong and Martin Ferguson are not working more closely as their folios are pretty well the same and Australia is not utilising some easy wins vis a vis greenhouse and clean air in cities which is is probably improving on account of petrol prices.<BR/><BR/>This issue you raise is pivotal to the whole transport fuel issue but the reality is that Rudd has inherited some deals which need re-shaping, and in a democracy I guess thats what we expect with new governments.<BR/><BR/>How would we estimate the potential growth of LNG exports and how does this fit into our global commitment to climate change? How is volume of exports weighed up against potential reserves and local requirements? How economic is it to send LNG cryogenically chilled in crude oil guzzling tankers to far flung parts of the globe? <BR/><BR/>Australia has a vast network of gas distribution for natural gas which means we have 1/a simple and cleaner alternative to fuel powered stations, and 2/ a momentus head start to utilise CNG for many modes of transport. <BR/><BR/>The priority here is to look at the transport task and where the bulk of the oil is being used and to fix the leaks and do the economy and country a big favour. As I read news reports there is too much vested interest currying of favour and not enough straight forward governing. I am promoting and seeking fleets to utilise CNG as agent for GNC Galileo but I am not averse to other fuel alternatives if...and its an IF the government needs to get behind, we adopt a national energy strategy, containing a transport fuel strategy, which through appropriate government instruments will arrive us at a logical and smart fuel mix.<BR/><BR/>Instead, over the past month we have seen some rather dull government painting Fuelwatch as policy and then handing over $70M to Toyota for no apparent reason.<BR/><BR/>This is an interesting economic and political dilemma that will not be solved with political short term solutions, but instead requires some ernest decision making to reform what is at the moment a 'high risk' situation with regard energy and transport policy in Australia. <BR/><BR/>Ive covered some of these areas at rosettamoon...please feel free to visit.<BR/><BR/>http://rosettamoon.copley.org.au/?p=138Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-46023452393818843672008-06-12T21:25:00.001+10:002008-06-12T21:25:00.001+10:00More comments at TOD ANZ :http://anz.theoildrum.co...More comments at TOD ANZ :<BR/><BR/>http://anz.theoildrum.com/node/4094#comments_topBig Gavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682404837426502876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-59922923343159290222008-06-12T21:25:00.000+10:002008-06-12T21:25:00.000+10:00Agreed.The point of the post is to demonstrate tha...Agreed.<BR/><BR/>The point of the post is to demonstrate that you can try to deal with shrinking oil supplies (or the environmental side effects of burning coal) by switching to gas - but that just means you'll soon be out of oil and gas.<BR/><BR/>We should (and eventually will) switch to entirely clean energy sources...Big Gavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682404837426502876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-34046898877559137452008-06-12T20:54:00.000+10:002008-06-12T20:54:00.000+10:00None of the fossil fuels are going to last for eve...None of the fossil fuels are going to last for ever.
