Yes, completely understand where you're coming from. I personnaly don't have anything against the bigeer polluters (so to speak) - otherwise I woudn't have toasted my bread in the morning, been on the trams, or have this computer to blog with!
Hope life's treating you well mate, Terence.
My aim in making the remark was to at least register my disappointment that all large users of energy are demonized. This rhetoric continues to be promulgated and in doing so, picks up a head of steam ie: large users of energy, are big polluters, big polluters should be stopped, stop users of energy-no matter what,etc, etc. These same big users of energy are also 'saving' energy, buy using a feedstock with a 75% saving on the energy required to make that product from virgin ores. This is not even valuing the recycling 'service' provided ie: conserving resources, preserving landfill space, reducing water use, etc.
They're also large recyclers of secondary product, which displace more carbon-intensive substitutes which are only too freely going to destroy the local steel industry, when Govt has no intentions of limiting imports.
