My first experiences with the environmental movement was through their opposition to the building of dams in south-west Tasmania. Maybe they have rehabilitated dams as a permissible energy source?

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
