But more trees = less room for cows = less money. loving State Government not letting me bulldoze every shrub I see.

JBP posted:Also in Victoria we've got this white elephant monstrosity that wasted millions of dollars for no reason but I hear it somehow can make bad water into good water, idk though sounds like a dumbass doondoggle labah waste to me. According to its wiki, the Victorian desal plant has an output capacity of 410 megalitres per day (with an extended output of 550). At this point we'd probably get better value for money from drought relief if we just built a bunch of solar powered desal plants and use that to supply the farmers (while also lowering/cutting their take from the MD Basin).

SA built an expensive desal plant during a drought, and then when the drought ended they were all "look all the water is back in the reservoirs, what a waste of money that was", demonstrating the academically accepted fact that Boomers have no object permanence

Aquaculture of high trophic level species will probably never be sustainable even if they manage to figure out alternatives to wild-caught feed The energy inefficiencies are just too high

I believe a not insignificant amount of the feed that goes into raising salmon is sourced from chickens. Probably the stuff so bad you wouldn't even want to make nuggets out of them but probably its exactly the same (this is a joke about nuggets).

if we build enough desal plants could we defeat climate change by simply using up the water in the ocean before it rises to submerge our cities and/or people

Dan Andrews just announced an election committent to build an underground suburban rail loop connecting all the major rail lines from Cheltenham-Werribee via the Airport.  https://www.3aw.com.au/daniel-andrews-announces-suburban-rail-loop-see-the-video/ There's no way the Libs can beat that in terms of PT investment (which they don't do).

Yeah, huge promise. 12 new underground stations (new station locations in capitals) as well as interchanges with existing stations. Cheltenham, Clayton, MONASH, Glen Waverly, BURWOOD, Box Hill, DONCASTER, Bundoora, HEIDLEBERG, Reservoir, Fawkner, Broadmeadows, MELBOURNE AIRPORT, Sunshine, Werribee.

That's huge. Do we think attitudes are changing toward public transport enough that it's a sure fire winner? Working in the CBD, inner and outer west, I've known my fair share of swing voters who look down on public transport, still holding the Australian dream of a quarter acre and think an hour commute is fine for their three car family. Any investment in public transport is a waste of money when they should just build more roads blah blah blah.
