would you go without rice too? And just wear hemp clothing? like seriously the world can support many more people if we use the most efficient crops possible but it is a pretty shit existence. Relative comfort is an issue.
I heard that if American cut its' red meat consumption by 10% we could feed everyone starving in third world countries. Not sure if its true.I'd be fine with it, but I doubt meat-eaters would.

There is already enough food in the world to feed these people, even ignoring Western consumption patterns (so while less meat more plants/grains would significantly alleviate the problem, let's ignore it in this case). Most of the problems of starvation in the world's poor nations stem from government corruption and/or civil war.I heard that if American cut its' red meat consumption by 10% we could feed everyone starving in third world countries.

This is BS, simply because the Gov owns and operates all fossil fuel generation in Australia. The Gov also sets the wholesale price... there is no competition in the market.the fact of the matter is for the free market to adopt renewable energy we need a carbon tax. Most people are too selfish/apathetic to want to switch and so while coal is the cheapest form of electricity, will keep using it.
That's not true at all.the Gov owns and operates all fossil fuel generation in Australia.
lol, so...umm that's only because they aren't allowed to because of unionist pigs, if NSW had privatised electricity you think someone like BHP wouldn't be able to build power stations? The cost to provide a large number of people with renewables isn't exactly low and coal is still the cheapest per kW.h
You're kind of right... Vic and SA have privatised power generation.That's not true at all.
How do you suppose the government raises the funds for new powerstations?lol, so...
the Government has the potential to easily make the switch to renewables,
and this is bad because they are "pigs"/we want private corporations to be able to build environmentally destructive generators
BUT we actually want renewable energy to be used, so lets screw these private companies with a carbon tax, in order to get to the same situation we would have been in had the Gov just built the damn power stations
If the private sector has the financial capacity to build a power station, than the Government (with an increased capacity to borrow) certainly doesHow do you suppose the government raises the funds for new powerstations?
Fuck the average Australian. They don't own this country, or have any more right to access it than any other human being on this planet.
