The biggest wave
hamish: march 1, 2007
The biggest wave
Hallo everyone.
i've just caught my biggest wave of the summer
on the first day of Autumn
... that's got to be some kind of a sign
of good things.
Slow Down.
A constant reminder
to keep living my own truth.
The whole nuclear thing
is so big in Australia at the moment
and only going to get bigger
as we negotiate our way through a year of
NSW State and Federal elections.
All eyes on Australia...
we're standing at a cross roads
- what will we choose?
i see Australians taking a stand,
making a statement,
for a different way of being and doing
in a world where
to take the well trod path
is so often where we head,
in spite of ourselves
and our better intentions.
We have so much uranium in Australia
and i feel there are strong desires from some
minority
to have this raw material
be the new oil.
i unequivocally oppose a nuclear future
for the world.
We already have the biggest nuclear power generator
sustaining life across the entire planet.
To convince ourselves we need to supplement that
is like saying we should be crushing rocks by hand
to help build up sand on the beach.
40% of the world's uranium deposits
are in South Australia.
They're exporting to the world
but don't want nuclear power stations there
and don't want a nuclear waste dump.
And yet
they continue
to export.
The waste nuclear power produces
is toxic
to an extreme degree.
This is a problem
to which no one has any true solution.
This is about our kids.
This is about my kids.
i don't want to leave them anything
i'd rather not deal with myself.
i refuse to leave them anything
i can't deal with myself.
Plant more trees,
invest in sustainable energy technology,
"then before you know it
you turn around
and you've got an asset".
All eyes on Australia.
What message
do we send the world.
What world
do we leave our kids.
peace,
h

There is a saying that everything we do in our lives and to our Earth, we should be thinking 4 generations ahead. The world belongs to our grand children and great grand children, we are only the care takers. Not only is Australia in the spot light for nuclear issues, but is also the first heavily populated area to be suffering the effects of Global Warming. Studies are showing that if changes are not made that the temperature will continue to rise and that the country will be left in a permenat state of draught. There are debates about turning sewage into drinking water. I have heard Jerry Faldwell (a U.S. evnagilist) say that he doesn't believe in Global Warming because God will take care of the Earth until the second coming. I belive we were given a gift and we are responsilbe for taking care of it. God must be pissed at what we have done.

The Iroquois take it even farther:
"In our every deliberation we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations".

a fresh "007" wave,
perhaps
is seeking God's face,
and His glory,
thru humble prayer and
passionate spirit and truth -
filled praise,
by those who are called by His
name.
So, the ONE, Jesus Christ(the
Way, the
Truth, and
the Life.)
HE, the ONE, can heal the land,
as it is written.
His Power is bigger than nuclear power, for all authority has been given unto Him.
Can a unified cry to the Father claim Peace to this nuclear storm in Jesus name? May the King of Glory come in to restore and reconcile the land.
Is there anything too hard for our God?

I wonder, perhaps, if there haven't been more comments here on this subject because in the US we've already "slowed down" on nuclear power. We fought that battle 20 years ago, and the power companies have generally refrained from building new plants.
But that doesn't mean that we're much better off. Because we don't use nuclear power to generate new electricity, we often burn coal instead which is a major contributor to Global Climate Change. Coal plants produce 30% of the US's carbon dioxide emissions, as well as 60% of the sulfur dioxide emissions and 32% of the mercury polution. Strip-mining accounts for 65% of the coal production, further damaging the environment.
Unfortunately between 85-90% of Australia's electricity production is also from burning coal, and Australia is also the fourth leading exporter of coal.
So fight the good fight, Hash, against the nuclear thing in Oz. Then it's time to go on together to find another way.

Hash,
Isn't about time for a new blog entry?
Spring is almost upon you - what are the plans for the garden this year?
