I was being helpful! It will hold more weight if he finds out on his ownIs it possible to post anything of value & cease addressing with habitual personal animus?

This is not a little thing - do you really trust Australians to build and safely run a nuke? I don’t…
doesn't seem to be a problem for the coal boys.Hehehehe.
Why not? She'll be right, mate?
I don't see why not. Our problem however is that we don't really have the readily available sources of water for cooling the other nations have.
Ok so you are saying that EVs were "not preferenced" 110 years ago?Obviously that example, even referenced in “Who Killed Roger Rabbit?”, if that’s more accessible.
Michelin, too, but more generally and to the advantage of a wide range of stakeholders, EV and to some degree steam was not preferenced.
The same problems - range and accessible recharge - were inconvenient and could not compete with burgeoning oil cartels.
We have 34,000km of coastline. I believe there is quite a bit of water there.I don't see why not. Our problem however is that we don't really have the readily available sources of water for cooling the other nations have.
With nuclear power we could have enough cheap desal freshwater to irrigate the continent & feed the world.We have 34,000km of coastline. I believe there is quite a bit of water there.

Off topic I know, but interesting concept.
I was staying out of this..... We've run a high energy reactor at Lucas Heights for decades to the point where the suburbs have spread around it. It would be a slow business, should anyone feel like coughing up the billions, given the community resistance, approvals processes and availability of competent contractors. I don't remotely believe the "5-10 years is possible" argument. A few years ago, there was only one foundry on the planet (in Japan) capable of building reactor caps, and the wait for one of those is an issue in itself, once you have decided what capacity you build.Hehehehe.

How did the Morris big ends behave?My first car was a Morris Minor 1000, with the mighty 948cc A series.
80mph flat biscuit if you were patient enough.
Being a young guy it soon became clear a performance upgrade was needed.
Off with its head, got it shaved 0.40". Picked up some twin SUs and a set of extractors, fitted a 2" sports system.
Turned the torsion bars down a couple of splines, put some lowering blocks in the back and made a front spoiler; so now it would slice through the air like a hot knife through butter.
Fired her up, time to feel the Gs.

Traded it straiģht in on a Renault 16TS which was like an F111 compared to to the poor old Morry.🛩
I had no problems with it, it had Smiths oil and temp gauges in it when I got it. Oil pressure was 40 or 45 psi hot from memory. It was still buzzing at around locally for years after I traded it in.How did the Morris big ends behave?
I just realised I posted this in the wrong thread, sorry guys. The Morry did have electric starter and wiper motors though, does that count?How did the Morris big ends behave?
