Milne: dangerous eco-fascist
So that would be a “no”, then. The Greens are in charge, so we cannot trust anything Labor or Gillard or Combet says. The Australian leads with the story that Greg Combet has stated that “coal is safe” under Labor’s carbon pricing scheme, but unfortunately it isn’t up to Combet to decide:
Speaking to The Weekend Australian, Mr Combet seized on Greens leader Bob Brown’s signal last week that his party was “open to looking at the impact on trade-exposed industries” as evidence it was prepared to negotiate on transitional assistance for sectors such as coal and aluminium.
But Senator Brown’s deputy, Christine Milne, yesterday renewed her attack on the coal industry, writing on The Punch website that “to prevent the climate crisis, we need to transform our economy away from the dead end of coal to the exciting opportunities of baseload solar and other renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies”.
The idiocy of this statement beggars belief… no it doesn’t, actually, it is after all the Greens talking…
“We need to redesign our cities around people instead of cars,” she wrote.
“We need to protect our magnificent forest carbon stores. All that activity will stimulate our economy. It will create jobs and investment in new industries, many of which need the same skills that people in the coal sector already have.”
NSW Greens MP Cate Faehrmann, who is also the party’s mining spokeswoman, yesterday praised a decision to refuse the Wallarah 2 coalmine expansion on the NSW central coast, but said “unfortunately” the refusal was an exception to the rule in the state and there were 17 major proposals for new mines or expansions being assessed.

How many utterly ludicrous statements can one have in just three paragraphs? “People instead of cars”, “create fake subsidised Green jobs at the expense of real jobs”? The reality is the Greens hate coal with a passion and will do anything to see it completely wiped off the face of the earth. The fact that there’s nothing to replace it except useless fart power and equally useless sunbeams doesn’t bother the anti-human eco-fascists who don’t care that people will go without heat and light.
And don’t even bother to mention the only viable alternative to fossil fuel generation – nuclear. Despite the fact that we have the largest reserves of uranium on the planet, the Greens would rather punish humanity than take the best alternative option.
And these shit-for-brains Greens are now running the country? GOD HELP US.
Getting very angry… must stop and cool off…
Australian Climate Madness 
We all know how mad the Greens are. Don’t forget to that they want to legalise drugs and they also want to introduce Death Duties and Capital Gains Tax – this is only the beginning of their mad agenda.
In short, they want to completely re-engineer our society and take us back to the horse and buggy.
Make sure you vote them OUT OF THE UPPER HOUSE in the NSW State Election – they already have six seats – let’s get rid of them once and for all.
horse and buggy ?
No way – horses produce ghg’s, and you mustn’t cut down trees to build buggies. Trees are part the carbon con, er I mean, accounting that supports our wondrous Kyoto commitments via carbon sequestration certificates, etc.
Can someone in the media please ask Milne how the “..exciting opportunities of baseload solar and other renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies” are going to replace the “dead end” of coal?
If she is so confident, it should be easy for her to point to information as to how they’re at least as equally efficient and cost-effective, no?
I’d just be happy if someone would ask her exactly what “baseload solar” is !
Can she please point out where in the world this technology exists, how much is costs, and what provides the “base” when the sun goes down ?
Here is the amusing part – if we want to go “solar”, as I understand it, it has to be connected to the Grid so what is the point?!!
Getting very angry… must stop and cool off… with popcorn? Enjoy the donnybrook, Simon!
We’re all with you there mate…
Senator Milne : you first. Drop the car, the flights and the coal fired power. Live on solar ‘baseload’ (funny, I thought baseload went through the night as well) and see how your life turns out. A good start would be switching off the air con in your parliament office.
A even better start would be her reading the report on the Spanish renewable energy/”green jobs” program that she keeps banging on about – the one that bankrupted Spain and showed a loss of 2.2 jobs for each “green job” created.

Wouldn’t it be great to have a media that actually asked these Green turds some sensible questions.
It’s no use getting angry with mad people. They just think they’ve ‘won’ when you do that, and besides, they can’t help it. Only reality can stop them, and only then when someone can explain it, otherwise they tend to integrate it into their delusion. That’s why some scientists can now claim that a warming world makes the world warmer AND cooler. There was no intervention by mental health professionals at the appropriate moment.
The problem Keith, is that the lunatics there’s no use getting angry at, are in charge of the asylum.
There’s nothing wrong with being angry, it just has to be controlled and channeled into constructive action.
Isn’t that right Fiona Murray @ comment 1?
It’s because people are angry at present that these lunatics are starting to be held to account and we’re seeing some action.
They are hoping against hope that people’s rage will settle down at which point they will slip this mongrel tax through.
No, the rage must be maintained, it must be used constructively and these liars and cheats must be assigned to the political garbage bin where they belong.
“It’s no use getting angry with mad people.”
It’s like trying to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig.
Separated at birth from someone else who wanted to run people’s lives?

This government is starting to resemble the three-headed knight from Monty Python’s Holy Grail (1:17):

I wonder what Julia is going to say in her Address to the US Congress…if she has the effrontery to mention her proposed introduction of the Carbon Tax in Australia, with any luck she will be viewed by the American People as a lunatic.
The imbecile Combet says that “coal is safe”.
For some reason, this statement brings this image to mind:
I agree with the greens. The idea that we can indefinitely rely on coal for power is crazy. There will never be a more convenient time to begin seriously exploring alternatives. If people are worried about how making these changes might affect them perhaps they need to look further ahead to the very real consequences of doing nothing.
You are right Len not indefinitely,but for a bloody looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time,and why is it more convenient now than it has been in the past or ever will be in the future.Give us a real reason Len not the same general mind numbing lameass statements the mental defectives that run this country give us day in day out.Yep,smart dumb people the country is full of them.
Also remember that Brown Bob and his marxist leninist crowd wants to kill you off once over certain age to save the environment. Maybe they should start with themselves.
