The principal charge was; "Operate an aircraft in a public park: (a) without suitable clothing. (b) below the minimum legal altitude (c) within 500 metres of a chook farm (d) not carrying a log book (e) using a phone while flying (f) failing to wear safety gloves while flying."

Is this the night of the Ferals?

.........Wellcamp Olympic Stadium which boasts many athletics tracks suitable for 5000 and 10000 metre events and marathons, with a huge undercover camping area. With the stage out of action, bull coined the idea of Jackoff Skydiving with four people lying on the wings. Of course the Jackoff would be over MTOW, but hey that sh!t was always way too conservative and besides, he thought, "I can get the SDs to run the first hundred metres to give the Jackoff a chance of getting off and it would add to the Olympic spirit. The advertising theme was "Jackoff today" and so many customers rolled up that he had to dash across the the airfield and pick up three more wrecked Jackoffs. All was going well until the CASA FiO rode into town on his black Harley, and patched with "CASA Angles". Mavis was the first to give the warning (FiOs always go the the RSL first). She'd tried to distract him with her charms but they had withered since the old days, and he'd fired up the Harley and was slowly turning out onto the street when a Skydiver skidded to a halt in the very piece of road the FiO needed, and .....................

....gentleman that he is, even though he doesn't have a single count of Aboriginal DNA in him, agreed to this request. (Truganinni was a Romanian woman, who travelled the Showground circuit in Tasmania as an exotic dancer, snake lady, Lady Sinbad the wife of a sailor, lion tamer, of fighter in Brophy's tent, depending on who was down with the flu.) (bull's mitochondrial results show that he is related to his mother, and has the higher numbers which indicate extraversion (as against perversion in Cappy's), openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness.) There was nothing for it, bull flew across to Perth to interview the two artists who had invented the Smoking Ceremony. (In real life in the 1800s if you wandered into the next tribe's territory you got a spear in the guts, so we should be conducting spearing ceremonies). bull had a small sqare graded and concreted, bought some scaffolding and put seats on it (as Queenslanders do), learnt to play the didgeridoo (or learnt to hold it - the sound came from a tape recorder) stripped bone of all its tree leaves, and charged a $12:50 entry fee. He got the jackoff flying and started charging $50.00 for joyflights, but one day...............

.......within days had hired a dozer to come in and wipe out a grove of historic Bunna Pines for which the Council had paid $150,000.00 each. The Council had retired the old pom who had bought them after they found out they were not native to Bone and would die soon anyway, so they issued a press conference expressing outrage at bull's action in trashing their greening of what had been a park bare of trees, and the heat sink capacity which had lowered Bones average temperatures by 5%, lamented the loss of these rare and unique trees which were almost extinct in the wild. (in fact Turbo had 250,000 growing at Turbine Tree Planting Inc. for sale at "$150,000.00 each as found by our explorer known as CT who only comes in with a few during the year"). The Council issue a "Move-on" notice to bull for this outrage. So a win, win, win for the Bone Council. Now as anyone knows bull, although of rugged appearance and slightly overweight, is no pushover. Eight years ago before he had left Bone, bull had bought a Bird House from Bunnings and all this time had paid a small amount for a nearby old lady to put out some homey for the rainbow lorikeets every afternoon. People had commented on how kind the old lady was and the Bone Times had run a story on "Bird Lady" bull had kept the receipt and despite being shipwrecked, left starving out in Sturts Stoney Desert, and falling into the pool at the Crown Casino he still had it and applied for adverse possession of the park. In is sworn statement he said "I have owned a house there for 8 years, exceeding the legal 7 year term, and at no time has the Council told me to demolise it or move it or claim the property was theirs." And so bull became the owner of the park and continued building his aircraft. One day .....................

....the hospital quickly returned to the normal Tassie evening menu of pea soup, devil delight and stewed apples with, since the crash a glass of Yarra Valley red (with the usual layer of Yarra mud on top). With Jill now working for Elon, bull was left on the beach at Bone alone and lonely for his new home in New Victoria. His mind went back to the time he was building ultralights when the Council relentlessly picked on him for littering his property and the street with half-finished Jackas, so he walked back up from the beach to see if there were any left. He was in luck. There were still four half finished Jackas and a couple of 503s on the nature strip of his old home. In no time he'd borrowed a trailer, hitched up the Land Cruiser and planted an Aboriginal flat in the new Eco-Park where the shrubs were watered by pumps with their own Ergon sub station which powered a pump which pumped water 50 metres high to generate force to drive a turbine pump to bring water from Sunset Billabong 30 miles to the west. The Bone councillors had made headlines with their wonderful preservation action using their Zero Emission Process (ZEP) Soon Bone Eco - Park echoed to the sound of bull's angle grinder creating a new jacka from the skeleton of the old but it wasn't long before ........................

You can go on the Social Australia site any time you like and even start a specific thread on whatever you want to discuss.

Are you talking about the ability to ramp up a steam turbine?

Really? In that case you didn't read enough to find out the real issue was the ability of Black Coal to ramp up to suit demand.

The earlier figures I posted for Eastern Grid power generation today were at 15:30 We're looking to see whether coal can ramp up or down. At 18:57 with perhaps Air Conditioners turned on in some states, people home from work etc the outputs changed Black coal generation ramped up 47% to 12,300 MW Solar generation dropped 37.9% to 2130 MW Wind ramped up 9.4% to 2593 MW

Sorry, fact which is a bit telling given your story about being a man of science.

All food for thought. Just looking at your NEVER use more than 15.2 kWh for 2 people. About half an hour ago on an unremarkable afternoon the east coast population of Australia (=26m less WA and NT) were demanding 54.42 kWh per person (including the kids). I lived in a house with about your use of power out in the country growing up, but in those years we used redgum to fire the copper to boil the water for washing the clothes, and wood chips to heat the water for a shower or bath, wood stove, kerosene refrigerator, hot water for washing dishes, so we didn't need much electric power. Today though people want a higher living standard, so you are up against an unrelenting pressure if you start dreaming of downsizing homes and taking out the aircon. So not much point talking about it. Getting back to our 54.42 kWh demand per person this afternoon, in addition to our homes, that's to supply street lights, sewerage pumps, water supply pumps, trains, traffic lights, hospitals, shops and the factories people on this site have said we should never lose, and in fact get back our manufacturing base. In Victoria the aluminium smelter near Portland draws most of our generated power. EV is a big threat to the Eastern Grid. Labor's policy a couple of elections ago to have 50% of all new cars EV, required a second grid of equal size plus rebuilding all substations to three phase if very street was to have full capacity for EV. This alone was a good reason for Lebor to drop the policy. So you can have an ideal, but you have to look at how practical that is, given that most of that 54.42 kWh being generated right now is going to places like the aluminium spemlter and industries where you can't put some solar panels on the roof and generate enough power to work it. Even in homes, I've found the crossover where it gets hard is running 0.5 hp + motors. This afternoon was a mild one generally where Solar and Wind could undersell Coal, bringing the coal percentage of supply down thereby pushing the renewables percentage up. Even with the mild afternoon South Australia was only generating about three quarters of its demand, so probably the State at most risk this summer. Outputs in Megawatts were: MW % of Total Battery 12 0 Biomass 49 0 Black Coal 8353 40 Brown Coal 3283 16 Gas 707 3 Hydro 549 3 Liquid Fuel 0 0 Other 0 0 Solar 5618 27 Wind 2370 11

You don't have to triple the output for our CURRENT, you have to increase their output over a Hundredfold, if coal-fired becomes fnancially non-viable.

I've studied this quite a few times and dug for the maps, regs and protocols, and flown in the lanes. 1. The government position is probably, you're flying for kicks, not business so go fly somewhere else; we gave you lanes. When you look closely at the maps you'll see they area covered in DZ (Danger Zones) lanes, holding and reporting circles, holding circuits etc down to the heights they allow for you. If you researched that further and printed it out in 3D, you wouldn't go near the area, (a) because of the closeness and (b) because RPT pilots don't always follow the rules. One in Tasmania was prosecuted for flying a load of passengers towards Wynyard Airport near Burnie below cliff top level due cloud down to the ground, hoping the airfield might have some visibility. (c) there will always be unexpected arrivals and departures.

1 ) I accept that you're talking guardedly; (a) there are Acts and there are other Instruments - a lot of reading to be sure of the one. 2) Depends on the action but in one case CASA had taken action early and very few people knew.

The Coal-fired Plants, and Tas Hydro carried the 99% of Peak demand that day, with, from memory two turbines down for maintenance in the Latrobe Valley.

Solar is sold to the AEMO system and on a hot day you can see it kW x kW contributing to the Easten States Grid it might be cheap but a couple of years ago when we ran out of peak power and 100,000 people lost their power in Melbourne solar and wind were producing just 1% of the power generation mix.

Have a look on the AEMO dashboard and you'll see the coal-fired power stations idling at Base-load. As the day gets hot you'll see them start to fire up the boilers and you'll see the renewables stay where they are at their maximum, then as it gets hotter again you'll see SA pulling power from Victoria, Victoria pulling hydro from Tas and Coal-fired from NSW, then as it gets hotter, NSW pulling power from Queensland which by then usually has started to ask the sugar mills to fire up and pulls power from them. On the dashboard you can see ALL the figures for the amount of power being generated by all the available methods, how much each method is generating and the exact amount of power being moved from one state to the next minute by minute. There's no modelling needed, no cute terminology used, no claims being made, you see every form of power generation Australia has, what can fire up and what gets lost in the dust.

The ones I've seen are just laid down in the paddock around the base of the tower.

I'm not going to get involved in legal processes, but have a look at the regulations CASA used to set up and authorise Self Administering Organizations, and then look at the Incorporated Associations and Limited Companies managing their affairs, and what happens when they haven't got their regulations right or haven't covered forseeable risks. In some cases an SAO will be conducting and managing it's operation and its people, in others when the aircraft enters a location or activity where it has to comply with CASA regulations, both CASA and the SAO are involved. What I'm saying is some caution needs to be applied.
