The Australian Snowy 2 hydro scheme plans to use electricity to pump water uphill to get some of that energy back by running the water downhill again.
Some Australian mining companies are planning a dry version of Snowy 2 - a huge brick-powered battery using the force of gravity to drive a generator when solar and wind energy are on strike.

When is all this nonsense going to be stopped ! It doesn't matter what news item you read , what blog you follow , it is all the same … things going on in this World today and I mean not just one particular place but everywhere that is so foreign to most of us .
We have just been made aware of a new Bill hopefully being passed that will disallow a little baby who has been aborted but is still alive to be left by itself to cry and finally die . Time … anything from an hour to 10 or 12 hours and if that is not murder I would like to know what it is. The mere fact that abortion occurs in the first place is criminal . Ladies .. make up you mind in the first 3 months , do you want this little baby if you don't, then is the time to say unfortunately remove this little growing creature. Not wait until it is fully developed. How can the medical staff deal with this dreadful practice.?
The latest victim of this insanity is work by the brilliant Dr Seuss who has had 6 books banned for being racially insensitive. Is Winnie the Xi somehow behind it?
Appararently, one because it "contains a controversial illustration of an Asian man holding chopsticks and a bowl of rice with the text a “Chinaman who eats with sticks."
That it was a man from China using chopsticks is immaterial – it is racist.
My kids grew up on Dr Suess.
We have reached the stage where the overreach of politicians and political activists has become laughable were it not so dangerous.
The coronavirus has successfully pushed the scourge of Islam off the front pages of our media but now that we seem to be returning to normality we should again turn our attention to dealing with this greater plague that no vaccine will cure.
Real history is no longer part of the school curriculum. It should be because we have much to learn from it. The adage that it keeps repeating itself is a salutary lesson in common sense.
Most Australians would not know that the reason that the US Marine Corps was formed was specifically to fight Islam. A 237 Year History of the fight against Islam is sadly, largely forgotten.
An Australian MP has drafted a Bill which would make it a legal obligation to provide medical care for babies born alive following an abortion.
Currently in some Australian states, there is not a legal requirement to provide medical care to a baby that has been born alive following a failed abortion and they can be left to die.
In 2016, an ABC News report showed that Queensland Health confirmed that in such cases, life-saving care is not rendered to the baby after a decision to terminate is made and it is left to perish in the clinic.
The Human Rights (Children Born Alive Protection) Act 2021, being advanced by George Christensen, MP for Dawson in Queensland Australia, states its purpose “to protect children born alive (including as a result of terminations), and for related purposes”.

Yesterday, I saw an image put up in the comments of one of the articles here on patriotrealm.com that offended, shocked and reviled one of my fellow bloggers. It was of a young man, barely in his twenties. He was heavily tattooed and full of body piercings and the mutilation of the body that God gave him. The poster felt that this image was so offensive, it should have been removed.
I disagree. In my work, many years ago admittedly, I worked " with " people like this and I have my own theories as to why they do what they do. It is simple really. They hate themselves.

To be honest, I am so sick to death of hearing about diversity and racism. When I think about the disservice that these leftists are doing to our darker-skinned brethren, I feel a sense of loss. Far greater than what they think it is.
I cannot help but reflect on the likes of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment and the Maori Battalion . Comrades in Arms that served to defend our Nations and did so willingly and WITH PRIDE. And they were all " Black "
No flights unless you have a vaccination Passport? No job unless you have been given the Jab? No admission to certain shops, public transport or public places unless you have been vaccinated?
It seems to me that the real global pandemic we are facing is a global pandemic of stupidity and blind faith in leaders who have, so far, hardly shown that they are acting and reacting in a manner that is based on commonsense and is more suggestive of so called " health experts " ruling our countries and our leaders are, yet again, asleep at the wheel.

I do not normally watch Q & A. In fact I consciously avoid it such was the affect that Tony Jones and his stacked audiences had on me but last night for reasons unknown, when I finished my dinner and went to the TV room it was on. Obviously the 7.30 Report had not been turned off.
This was the first occasion when I saw it chaired by Hamish Macdonald and I have to say that I was impressed. The topic of the moment was the Brittany Higgins rape complaint but the programme quickly morphed into the aged care discussion. The more that went on the more interested and disgusted I became.

As our families drift further apart ( whether it be through distance or because of political, moral or social differences of opinion ) we are starting to redefine so much of our traditional places of comfort. Poor old Uncle Bob who used to get a bit pissed at the family Christmas dinner and get carried off to the spare bedroom to sleep it off... or old mate Cousin Billy who used to bang on about the Government hatching a master plan to take over the world and we all said " yeah, yeah, good on ya mate " and get back to having a joke and a yarn about who would win the cricket; times have changed.
Today, I read a comment on a forum I belong to. It made me realise that FAMILY is a dying " Art " and one that too many people around the world have abandoned or simply do not even realise has been abandoned and stolen.. Certainly in the form that the current " woke " mob think it is.
