  • The problem is in places like Tasmania when the elec goes out. We lost power at the end of winter last year for 6 days becase storms took out many power lines. We used our little camper van and ran an extension cord for the fridge and a couple lights and USB charging in the house . A back 2 burner portable gas stove for cooking and we fired up the wood fireplace for heating, usually run heat pumps.

    Would have been horrific not to have the wood stove as a heating backup but we were fine becase we had it. Mny people lost power for much longer.

    Similar thing after the NZ Christchurch earthquake.

    If peoplw only used them for emergency backup wed be fine bit alas… Same reaosn arseholes keep flying, driving and voting ALP/LNP no matter the consequences.

    As to toxic pollution, we kill 11,000 people a year from transport emisisons (30 a day) and don’t seem to care ?

    Traffic pollution likely causes more than 11,000 premature deaths in Australia a year, new modelling by climate researchers has revealed.
