Wellbeing Group - Energy and Climate- David Archibald

We are very pleased to announce that our guest speaker for this session is David Archibald, on the topic of Climate and Energy

David' has extrensively researched this topic and we are delighted to have him come and present his talk on this extremely topical subject which should be of interest to many Sheddies and friends.

David's synopsis of the talk follows;

Australia has chosen the wrong path in going to Net Zero. The price of power has doubled so far and we are on track for far higher, more economy-killing prices yet. To add insult to injury, we are ruining the country on a false premise which is that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a bad thing. On the contrary, the current level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of 421 ppm is still dangerously low and further increases in the atmospheric concentration are a wholly good thing.

The closest historic analogy to what we are doing to ourselves is the cattle-killing frenzy of the Xhosa tribe of South Africa in 1858. Some 75% of the Xhosa tribe died that year, we could have a similar result unless we overcome this spasm of paganism and return to sanity.

Photovoltaics and windmills are neither renewable or sustainable. They are in fact merely an artefact of cheap Chinese coal-fired power. Coal is too valuable to waste on power generation. We need to conserve it to convert to precious petrol and diesel. What to do instead? The answer is nuclear, but the right sort of nuclear. We will save time and money by going straight to plutonium breeder reactors. The generations of Australians to follow will thank us for coming to our senses and doing the only thing that can work.

This should prove to be a facinating and pertinent talk so please register with a free ticket and come along and be informed.

Don't forget to stay a while after the talk to share in some Shed fellowship with drinks and nibbles available and to participate in the 2025 inititive for a Door Prize for some lucky participant which will be drawn at approximately 5:45pm
