        South Australian should've built new state-of-the-art 1500 MW & 500 MW natural gas CCGT (HELE) power generators, HVPL's, substations, associated equipment and new N/G pipelines between 2010 to 2015, to replace ageing power generation facilities in Adelaide and Port Augusta, etc.

        Won’t have to build new ones. Quite a few sparingly used CCGT plants are on sale in US and Europe.

        Yes indeed, mate, because everybody knows that those scientists just don’t know what they’re talking about. 🙄

        Respect your work Kerryn, but as a writer, I'm disappointed that you can't see the diff between fact & fiction

        Thank you for the compliment, but I can, in fact, see the various differences among fact, fiction, opinion, and prejudice.

        We'll just have to agree to disagree because we obviously have strong opinions on opposite sides of the GW debate.

        But there is no “debate”, so I agree to nothing. For a “debate”, there has to be strong evidence on both sides. All you seem to have is mistrust and paranoia. On the other side, there is science, backed up by the bucketloads of evidence.
