The wankers who remain in power in
South Australia have located similarly disastrous projects in that state, that are only guaranteed to make trillion$$ for the ones selling the tech, like the ones sold the 173,500 "thermal connectors" to the Obama's DOE made trillion$$ .. Queensland news is full of ppl pushing the same thing.
