SOLO Pilot Podcast #3: Water Crisis

"Why can't I buy as much water as I can afford, and use it for whatever purpose I wish?"

"If I want to spend my money on petrol, and drive around aimlessly burning it, no law stops me and private enterprises builds more infrastructure (roads) to help me do so."

"If I want to spend my money on an air-conditioner and run it night and day, no law stops me and private enterprise builds more infrastructure (generators) to help me do so."

"If I want to water my flowers or wash my car with a hose the Government forbids it, and refuses to build enough infrastructure to let me choose how to spend my money on a renewable resource."

—Prof Robin Shaw, Deakin University, Australia

On this SOLO podcast we explore the crisis that is water management. Why is it such a mess, especially in Australia? Listen to the show to find out.

Thanks, J.
Yes, I know the guy. We were going to do the podcast together earlier this year but decided to go our seperate ways. He did the one you link to, I took up the SOLO Pilot.
Moseley is a bit more relaxed and...intermediate...for my preference. Nice bloke though, with odd notions about bacon.

ps I managed to put this podcast on Youtube but I'm annoyed we've been unable to network it to Itunes etc as yet

Like the podcast

Sound sorted, pertinent content, focussed, concise.

Good going guys.

I admit that reason is a small and feeble flame, a flickering torch by stumblers carried in the starless night, -- blown and flared by passion's storm, -- and yet, it is the only light. Extinguish that, and nought remains.- - Robert Green Ingersoll

Islam insofar as it is directed by governments, and as a measure enforced from above by any government, is to be done away with.
