There needed to be more on climate change too, as what the good old average
"man on the street" will take away from that is probably going to be "we'll
burn more coal and liquify it to run cars".

Cheers,

Hi all,
I thought it was good, and its true, as you say, 4Corners has credibility.

There was not much mention of clean alternatives.
There is a worry with liquefied coal looming as the quickfix solution to an
oil addicted society (see today 11 July 2006, AFR, p15). There's a brown
path and a green path in replacing oil, and liquefied coal is definitely on
the brown path.

Agree: the unasked question was "what now?".
energy efficiency is seen as too hard.
And Wind and solar lacked mention in the 4corners story.

Christal

Same. I've been trying not to sound like a madman in my
prognostications, and this helps. Four Corners has a lot of credibility.

I think the unasked question was "what now?", and I think the danger
is that the focus will be on the supply side of the energy equation,
rather than asking what we can do to reduce demand
