Coal is also primarily Australian, as they've almost banned burning it where it's mined.

 

I am actually surprised China isn't allowing plastic waste to "recycle", free fuel and all that.

Are you saying Australia primarily burns coal, or the the coal burnt by China is Australian coal, because Australia has banned burning it?

Australia has zero nuclear, but has increasingly gone to burning gas.

 

They have coal plants but they're very old and keep breaking when they are forced to fire them up due to demand, it's a stealth way of closing them as they won't build more due to climate bs.

 

So most coal is exported and the Chinese built massive ports for it.

 

The Oz grid makes ours look sane!

It's a depressing indictment of the state of the US that the election is on a knife edge between a former prosecutor/long time public servant and someone who is:

 

• A convicted felon, with many, many more court cases to come
• A fascist
• In cognitive decline
• Has no interest in serving anyone but himself
• Is genuinely the worst person that I can think of who has ever stained public life
•  

If he wins, I will incredible pity for the more than 50% of Americans who didn't vote for him.

 

 

I can't imagine what it must be like to live in a country where Trump is the head of state. What a gigantic, unforgivable skidmark of a human being.

 

Completely unrelated - why doesn't America have more talented would-be assassins? 

 

Not to mention us and the rest of the world.

Most of Western Australia is modelled around 4GW coal base load with daytime peaks covered by solar.

Eh?

 

It'd be easier if you used words to form sentences that the rest of us can understand.

 

Picking up on your last point - are you suggesting that Donald Trump is a normal, well adjusted human being? That's an insane claim.

J you could say the same for the majority who didn’t vote for Labour. Anyone thinking of voting for the Democratic Party might want to look over the water at how the left is doing here. As for the cognitive decline comment 🤔how long was  Bidens capacity or lack of defended for ??. How is he a fascist ?? He has been in power before and did not operate a fascist style of government, I find the word fascist is thrown around a lot by those of a left leaning view even on here ist and ish is a go to attack. 
Id take his and the republicans way of doing things any day rather than the wonderful public servant you mention. Quite frankly the break up of the US is the least of our concerns, an expansion of war in Europe, China is flexing its muscles ever more aggressively, that’s the Israelis just hit Iran 🤷‍♂️etc etc

I got it 42 🤷‍♂️and you and the team often accuse me of exactly the opposite 🤷‍♂️selective understanding perhaps or just conveniently playing dumb. 
Can you remind us all of the disasters that befell the UK and the rest of the World  the last time Trump was president ??
