AUSTRALIA could build a low-carbon economy based on solar, wind and geothermal power by the middle of the century for less than half the cost of the Federal Government's economic stimulus package, says a report commissioned by WWF Australia.

As Earth Hour approaches, the event's organiser, WWF, is trying to shift debate back to what it sees as the modest cost of turning Australia into a society based on renewable power.

Many industry groups argue that moving away from cheap fossil-fuel energy would damage manufacturing and employment.

The WWF-commissioned report calculates the price for transforming the nation's energy base, using technology that exists, would be $28 billion between 2010 and 2050 - less than half the Government's stimulus handout, but spread over 40 years.

It was prepared by Climate Risk, a corporate analyst that advises the federal and local governments and businesses on climate modelling.

It shows that a transition to renewable power is affordable, but that the proposed carbon trading scheme and renewable energy target could not achieve it. Extra government investment in energy of about $100 million a year from 2010 would be enough to make solar, wind and geothermal power dominant in the electricity and manufacturing sectors by the middle of the century.

No rational response then? Scared of the animals and the analysts? are we?

Why bother to dignify a delusional paranoid with a response when his first reaction is calling the initial poster someone who he is not?

If you can't get that right in your woolly head what chance do you have of sanely addressing any response

You can't very well prove me wrong though, can you. After all......revealing personal information, even your own, is a formal flushing offence, I hear.

I can't prove that you are a fat arsed paedophile, but according to you my suspicions are just as valid yours and I have as much chance of being your mythical DT as you have of of being a fat arsed paedophile.

So feel free to keep referring to me as DT and I will refer to you as a fat arsed paedophile

You can refer to me however you wish, DT, 'cos I don't give a shit either way. But you do, don't you. You don't like being exposed all the time. You'd rather play hidey.....peek-a-boo from behind your hand. You can't see anyone so therefore they can't see you either. Seriously flawed you are, hmm?....yes?....hmm? How's the trolling going over at Australian Opinion, old fella? Having much luck there?

We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing its so wrong, but feeling so right
I guess that two can play the game
Of part-time lovers
